Set the operating mode for dictionary import files

You must specify how DBLoad handles duplicate tag records while loading data from the import file into an application’s Tagname Dictionary.

If you use a import file template created with DBDump, the first line of the file contains the :mode keyword. For example, you can assign the value ask to the :mode keyword in cell A1 of the Excel application.

You can assign the following values to a :mode keyword:

:MODE=REPLACE

:MODE=UPDATE

:MODE=ASK

:MODE=IGNORE

:MODE=TERMINATE

:MODE=TEST
