LOADDB — Load vox-tapes into databank

This program loads case records into databank. Existing records can be overwritten if explicitly specified. A standard case record encompasses (1) study number, (2) group number, (3) proband number which is identical for all members of the proband's family, (4) intra-family relations with respect to proband according to code list, (5) gender, (6) age, (7) ethnicity according to code list, (8) case/control. Please note that genotype data can only be stored in databank if the respective case records exist.

            I4 NREC                      0  Default-value
            I4 IBM                       0  Default-value
            I4 RSET                      0  Default-value
            I4 REPL                      1  Default-value

            I4 LG30                     30  Default-value
 
            01 TANA Name of output file   (mode=0/1)
            02 NREC Number of files to be processed
            03 IBM  Specifies data format (IBM/SPARC vs. X86/X64)
            04 RSET Clears databank prior to data loading (!deletes all data!)
            05 REPL Replace pre-existing data within cases
            06 PROT Controls print output
            07 LG30 Logical unit number of input vox-file
            08 DEMO Examples that illustrate program function
 
            - TANA:     Name of the input tape ("NO" means that
                        DSN-name will not be checked)
 
            - NREC = n: Number of files to be processed
                   = 0: All files
 
            - IBM  = 0: Input data are stored in X86/X64-mode   (little endian)
                   = 1: Input data are stored in IBM/SPARC-mode (big endian)
 
            - RSET = 0: No effect
                   = 1: Deletes all pre-existing data prior to loading new data
 
            - REPL = 0: No effect
                   = 1: Overwrites pre-existing data within cases
 
            - PROT = 0: no protocol is produced
                   = 1: Detailed list of files being copied
                   = 2: same as (1) plus tape verification
 
            - LG30 = v: Logical unit number of output file (mode=0-2: 30-45)
 
 
 
            - DEMO: Reset databank, load new case records, make them permanent
