Using Databases : Loading table dump files : Techniques for loading table dump files : Using an ABL program
 
Using an ABL program
You can load a table dump file using a simple ABL program such as the following, which loads the table dump file x.d:
INPUT FROM x.d.
REPEAT:
  CREATE x.
  IMPORT x.
END.
Note: An ABL program like the preceding cannot process table dump files with code page trailers.
If you load the table dump file using this program, which uses the IMPORT statement, you probably dumped the database using a companion ABL program that uses the EXPORT statement. The resulting table dump file does not contain a code page trailer.
