Appendix A - Example Utility Input Files

The Adabas kit contains example utility input data - this allows you to try out some of the Adabas utilities, and to load example data into the database so that you can gain experience of using Adabas.

The following Adabas demo files are provided with the Adabas kit:

File Number Adabas File Name Description
9 EMPLOYEES File used for the C example program (see Command Reference)
11 EMPLOYEES-NAT File used as example file by Natural containing employees data
12 VEHICLES File used as example file by Natural containing vehicles data
13 MISCELLANEOUS Example for a file containing a large number of fields
14 LOBFILE of 9 Lob file of the Adabas file EMPLOYEES

Notes:

  1. On OpenVMS, file 9 is still the old Employees file without the LOB file 14. Please note that the C example delivered on OpenVMS is still the old version of the example program that corresponds to this old example file, which is different to the new version delivered for Windows and Unix and which is listed in the Command Reference document.
  2. For creating the Adabas demo database (an Adabas database containing the Adabas demo files) on UNIX the command crdemodb <dbid> is available, on Windows there is an icon "Create Demo Database".
