6.1.9 Input data file UOC

You can use a user-created program to edit data that is to be loaded. The edited data is passed directly to pdload. Therefore, programs that edit input files can perform data loading without creating temporary work files.

A program that the user creates to edit data is called the user's own coding (UOC). You can use a UOC to edit input data, such as when the format of a file containing database data is different from the input data file format supported by pdload, or when the character encoding used in the database data is not supported by HiRDB.
