Defining the Logical File

The logical file consists of only the file type and data file number. For example:

DATA N 7:5 1 2 3 4 5 6

File Type

File Number

Logical File

If you supply only the file type and number (a logical file), the import utility
calculates the correct data table size for the file.

Defining the Value List

The value list defines the initial values for the data table file. You can leave the
value list empty or supply immediate values. See the example below; it shows a
value list with immediate values.

DATA N 7:5 1 2 3 4 5 6

Value List

If you leave the value list empty, the import utility creates the data table specified by
the logical address. The import utility then initializes the data file with zeros. For
example, the data file “DATA N10:5” would create data table N10 and allocate six
words of data with zeros for data values.

The import utility adjusts the size of the data table to fit all data table values. You
can enter initial data values using binary, decimal, hex, or octal format. (Enter
formats in upper or lower case letters.)
