DL.PARAMETER Application – Important Fields
REPLACE CHARS and REPLACE WITH – Characters can be replaced when the data library is stored (DL.PARAMETER is verified with S operation)
OPERATION – S or R
OVERWRITING –
Y – If units exist in F.DL.DATA, they will be overwritten
N – The units are not overwritten
L – Units that have been changed lately are written into F.DL.DATA


RESTORE UNITS – Unit names to be restored
SAVE UNITS – If blank, F.DL.DATA is saved

Summary
Data Library in T24 is used to copy data records from applications and routines from one T24 account to another on the same machine.
DL.DEFINE is the application used to define all the records and programs which make up each unit.
DL.DEFINE record needs to be verified to either Save the data records or to Restore them
Records restored from the data library are put into the unauthorised T24 files if they are routines, they are saved in DL.BP.
DL.PARAMETER can be used to copy the whole F.DL.DATA or certain units to a tape device or it can create a record in DL.DEFINE that can be verified and the units restored from one area to another. T2BTT – R06 – 1.0 T2BTT – R06 – 1.0
