Storage Features

Restoring Matrices and Modules

You can restore matrices and modules from storage back into the IML active workspace by using the LOAD command. The LOAD command has the general form

  • LOAD ;

  • LOAD matrices;

  • LOAD MODULE= module;

  • LOAD MODULE= (modules);

  • LOAD MODULE= (modules) matrices;

Some examples of valid LOAD commands are as follows: 

   load a b c;                      /* load matrices A, B, and C  */
   load module=mymod1;              /* load module MYMOD1         */
   load module=(mymod1 mymod2) a b; /* load modules and matrices  */

The special operand _ALL_ can be used to load all matrices or modules, or both. For example, if you want to load all modules, use the following statement: 

   load module=_all_;

If you want to load all matrices and modules in storage, use the LOAD command by itself, as follows: 

   load;                  /* loads all matrices and modules  */

The LOAD command can be used with the STORE statement to save and restore an IML environment between sessions.
