What is Banker?ΒΆ
Banker is a G data bank maker. It creates G data banks without going through G7. It particularly is suited for making large G data banks, since compressed Banker-generated data banks are NOT bounded by the rather limited number of series allowed with any G7-generated workspace bank. With compressed banks that are built by Banker, your G-bank literally can include millions of series and the size of your hard disk becomes the constraint.
Banker makes both hashed (.HBK, .HIN) and compressed (.CBK, .CIN) G banks. However, users strongly are encouraged to produce the hashed bank, as it now is the standard data bank that Inforum creates and maintains.
