IFL reads records from any type of RMS-11 file and loads them into an existing, empty, indexed file. CNV alsp populates indexed files, but in a nonoptimized fashion (type HELP CNV). To invoke installed IFL: MCR>IFL[command string] DCL>MCR IFL[command string] To invoke uninstalled IFL: RUN $RMSIFL Type HELP IFL COMMAND for an explanation of IFL's command line.
