assume

Indicates that the following assumption can be made about a file format.

Syntax

assume condition

Comments

The file reader operates under the assumption that the condition stated is true.

Currently, the only assumption which the file reader supports is linear, meaning that each request in the file takes up one and only one line. This assumption vastly increases the speed with which Import can estimate the number of records in a file.

Assumptions can only be stated in the global block of the template.
