Description

DBload concatenates the contents of a file into a single string. The concatenation includes all characters in the file; it does not ignore nonprinting characters such as Tab and End of Line.

This module is useful for converting a long SQL statement in a file into a form that can be used as input to a Database Kit module that requires a SQL statement as input: DBquery, DBdelete, DBinsert, DBupdate, or DBmiscStatement.

Input

The name of the file whose contents are to be concatenated.

Output Port
