The LoadMemory command

Use the LoadMemory command (called LoadSharedMemory in Release 2.8.3) to store a filename in either shared memory or a Messages variable. The following parameters can be defined from this window. Note that before the shared memory can be used again with new data, the SaveMemory command has to be executed first. This command is backwards compatible with LoadSharedMemory.

With the LoadMemory command, you can load:

Field

Description

Label

Specifies the unique label of this process command. This label allows other commands to branch to this command. The label that you type here appears in the Label column on the EC Gateway Process Window.

Disable command

Disabling the command will allow temporary modification of the process statements. This allows for testing of the statements for error-free robustness. The command that has been disabled will not show in the script file (.pfs file).

Load from File

The input file or constant to be loaded into memory. Select from the options: FileName or Constant.

NoteInput and output files that are to be accessed from memory by RunMapIn or RunMapOut must have the shared memory created for them even if the output file does not exist.

NoteFile names are limited to 256 characters.

Memory

Memory is the name of the shared memory to be created. If FileName or Constant is selected for the previous field, then you can choose either: Shared Memory or Message. If you select Shared Memory, you can select either Parameter or Constant. The input file content is stored in this memory. Select from the options: Parameters or Constant. Constant displays the Constant Value window for entering a constant value.

NoteShared memory names are limited to 256 characters.
