    You can use an options array to generate programmatic CONVERT
    commands. For example, you can generate the following
    programmatic CONVERT command by configuring the options array
    described by the pseudocode that follows the example command
    line:

    $ CONVERT/FAST_LOAD/SORT/WORK_FILES=6/EXIT

    OPTIONS ARRAY [12]         {Allocate a 13-cell array}
    OPTIONS[0]  =  12          {Number of options]
    OPTIONS[1]  =   1          {Specifies the /CREATE option}
    OPTIONS[2]  =   0          {Specifies the /NOSHARE option}
    OPTIONS[3]  =   1          {Specifies the /FAST_LOAD option}
    OPTIONS[4]  =   0          {Specifies the /NOMERGE option}
    OPTIONS[5]  =   0          {Specifies the /NOAPPEND option}
    OPTIONS[6]  =   1          {Specifies the /SORT option}
    OPTIONS[7]  =   6          {Specifies the /WORK_FILES=6 option}
    OPTIONS[8]  =   0          {Specifies the /KEY=0 option}
    OPTIONS[9]  =   0          {Specifies the /NOPAD option}
    OPTIONS[10] =   0          {Specifies the null pad character}
    OPTIONS[11] =   0          {Specifies the /NOTRUNCATE option}
    OPTIONS[12] =   1          {Specifies the /EXIT option}
