# Examples of Using Direct Commands

This section provides examples for using Object Handler direct commands.

- Unloading Objects for the Same Platform

- Unloading Objects for Different Platforms

- Loading Objects in Internal Format

- Loading Objects in Transfer Format

Tip
For additional examples, you can view the command generated for an Object Handler function. This command is automatically displayed when you use a wizard. In advanced-user mode, you can activate the display of the command by either entering the Object Handler command `SET ADVANCEDCMD ON` or setting the parameter `Display-Cmd-in-Advanced-Mode` to `Y` (Yes) in the Object Handler profile (see also Profile Settings).

## Unloading Objects for the Same Platform

This section contains examples of how to unload objects in internal format to a work file in order to load them on the same platform, within either a local mainframe, UNIX or Windows environment:

- Unload all Natural programming objects (source objects only) from library `ABC`:

      UNLOAD * LIB ABC OBJTYPE N SCKIND S

- Unload all Natural programming objects (cataloged objects only) from library `ABC`:

      UNLOAD * LIB ABC OBJTYPE N SCKIND C

- Unload all Natural programming objects (cataloged objects and source objects) from library `ABC`:

      UNLOAD * LIB ABC OBJTYPE N SCKIND A

- Unload all Natural programming objects (source objects only) from library ABC with date 2019-10-01 as the catalog date (if both source and cataloged object exist) and the source date (if only a source object exists):

      UNLOAD * LIB ABC OBJTYPE N SCKIND S DATE 2019-10-01 DATECHECK C

- Unload all Natural programming objects (source objects only) from library `ABC` to load in library `ABCNEW`:

      UNLOAD * LIB ABC OBJTYPE N SCKIND S WITH NEWLIBRARY ABCNEW

- On a mainframe: Unload all DDMs whose names start with `EMP` and which point to database `88`:

      UNLOAD EMP* LIB * OBJTYPE D DDMDBID 88

- On UNIX or Windows: Unload all DDMs whose names start with `EMP` and which point to database `88`:

      UNLOAD EMP* LIB * OBJTYPE N NATTYPE V DDMDBID 88

- On UNIX or Windows: Unload all DDMs whose names start with `EMP` from library `VLIB` to load in library `VLIBNEW`:

      UNLOAD EMP* LIB VLIB OBJTYPE N NATTYPE V WITH NEWLIBRARY VLIBNEW

- Unload all user-defined error messages from library `ERRLIB` to load in library `NEWERR`:

      UNLOAD * LIB ERRLIB OBJTYPE E SLKIND A WITH NEWLIBRARY NEWERR

- On Windows: Unload all Natural programming objects (cataloged objects and source objects) from library `ABC` to a portable work file on a PC:

      UNLOAD * LIB ABC OBJTYPE N WHERE WORKFILE C:\WF1.SAG WORKFILETYPE PORTABLE

  or

      UNLOAD * LIB ABC OBJTYPE N WHERE WORK C:\WF1.SAG WFT P

## Unloading Objects for Different Platforms

This section contains command examples of how to unload objects in Transfer format to a work file in order to load them on a different platform such as unloading in a mainframe and loading in a UNIX or a Windows environment.

- Unload all Natural programming objects (source objects only) from library `ABC`:

      UNLOAD * LIB ABC OBJTYPE N WHERE TRANSFER

- Unload all Natural programming objects (source objects only) and user-defined error messages from library `ABC`:

      UNLOAD * LIB ABC WHERE TRANSFER

- Unload all Natural programming objects (source objects only) from library `ABC` with fixed record length:

      UNLOAD * LIB ABC OBJTYPE N WHERE TRANSFER FIXEDLENGTH

## Loading Objects in Internal Format

This section contains command examples of how to load objects from a work file in internal format.

- Load all objects to library `LIBNEW` and replace any that already exist:

      LOADALL WITH NEWL LIBNEW WHERE REPLACE ALL

- Load all object with target library `TGTLIB` to the new target library `NEWTGT`:

      LOAD * LIB TGTLIB WITH NEWLIBRARY NEWTGT

- Load the user-defined error messages `1000` to `1500` from library `ERRLIB` only:

      LOAD * LIB ERRLIB OBJTYPE E FMNUM 1000 TONUM 1500

## Loading Objects in Transfer Format

This section contains command examples of how to load objects from a work file in Transfer format.

- Load all objects to library `LIBNEW` and replace any that already exist:

      LOADALL WITH NEWL LIBNEW WHERE TRANSFER REPLACE ALL

- Load all object with target library `TGTLIB` to new target library `NEWTGT`:

      LOAD * LIB TGTLIB WITH NEWLIBRARY NEWTGT WHERE TRANSFER
