The I/O Redirect tab allows you to use memory locations - rather than files - for reading, writing, and storing data during run time. This option has many uses. For example, you use this option when the input to the map comes from an entry on a terminal or over the Internet. With this option, the same map can be used with files and with memory – by simply redirecting the input, output, and storage files to memory locations at run time.
On this window, you can specify that:
Standard Input is used in place of a specified input file.
Standard Output is used in place of a specified output file.
Internal Memory is used in place of a specified storage file.
You can add, modify, or delete any of the three I/O options.
Adding a new entry for any of the three I/O
options
Select Add next to the option you want to change.
