PROSTRCT BUILDDB qualifier

Re-creates a control area from the structure description (.st) of an existing database.

Syntax

prostrct builddb db-name [ structure-description-file ]

Parameters

db-name
Specifies the database you are using.
structure-description-file
Specifies the existing .st file.

Use to recover when an existing database control (.db) area is lost or damaged.

CAUTION: It is important to maintain an up-to-date structure definition file. Whenever you add extents to your database, or extend or pre-extend existing extents with PROSTRCT ADD, be sure to update your structure file with PROSTRCT LIST. If your structure definition file is not accurate, the database control area built with PROSTRCT BUILDDB will not be accurate.

Note

BUILDDB does only minimal validation of the resulting control area.
