Load Schema (Windows)

Typically, the dictionary is stored in the project root (e.g. E:\ Sample ). In the example, the script file has been stored in a sub directory OSI (E:\ Sample\osi\Sample.odl ). When generating another project than Sample, an appropriate ODL script file has to be provided.

...>E:\Sample\ODL.cmd

This procedure is properly initialized when generating the Sample project but has to be adapted to specific requirements when generating other projects. The options -R and -C is suggested in order to check the schema after being imported and mark data types as checked and ready.

The load protocol is written to console as shown in the example below.

When there is no odaba.ini stored in the ODABA system folder or when it contains an invalid reference to the ode.sys database, instead of the message

the following two messages will appear:

which can be ignored.

When the input file contains invalid characters after being edited, errors like
