CRDB is a utility to create and or update PMDF database files. CRDB simply converts a plain text file into PMDF database records and either builds a new database or updates the records in an existing database. In general, each line of the input file must consist of a left hand side and a right hand side. The two sides are separated by one or more spaces or tabs. The left hand side is limited to 32 characters in a short database (the default variety), 80 characters in a long database, or 252 characters in a huge database. The right hand side is limited to 80 characters in a short database, 256 characters in a long database, or 1024 characters in a huge database. Spaces and tabs may not appear in the left hand side (but see the description of the /QUOTED qualifier below). The format of the input files is described in the PMDF System Manager's Guide.
