Running ILIB

Run ILIB by typing ilib at the command prompt.

You can specify parameters in the following ways:

  1. Enter them directly on the command line
  2. Use the ILIBenvironment variable
  3. Put them in a text file, called a response file and specify the file name after the ilib command.
  4. A combination of the above

You can press Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break at any time while running ILIB to return to the operating system. Interrupting ILIB before completion restores the original library from a backup.

Notes:
  1. When started, ILIB makes a backup copy of the original library in case it is interrupted or a mistake is made. Make sure you have enough disk space for both your original library and the modified copy.
  2. The library must end with the extension .lib. If an extension is not specified, the default extension, .lib, will be appended. High Performance File System (HPFS) file names are supported. Hence, mylibraryname.new.lib is still a valid library.
