The Load and Run Media Program (LODRUN) command
allows the user to load and run an application written by another user or
a software vendor from tapes or optical media supplied by the other user.
When the Load and Run Media Program (LODRUN) command
is run:
- The media is searched for the user-written program, which must be named
QINSTAPP. If tape is used, the tape is rewound first.
- If a QINSTAPP program already exists in the QTEMP library on the user's
system, it is deleted.
- The QINSTAPP program is restored to the QTEMP library using the Restore
Object (RSTOBJ) command.
- Control of the system is passed to the QINSTAPP program. The QINSTAPP
program may be used, for example, to restore other applications to the user's
system and run those applications.
