How to load .df without starting the DB

[manish.s]

I am getting the error as
" db is a void multi-volume database.".
while starting the DB.
So thought of loading the df without starting..

I assume this a new database that you are creating.
procopy $DLC/empty8 <dbname>.

empty8 if blocksize is 8k
empty4 if blocksize is 4k

If you are restoring the database from a backup

prostrct create the empty database with the -blocksize parameter, and then use prorest (assuming you using Progress backup utilities).
