Note: Note: The VPF reader can read a VPF dataset from the database level or the coverage level. The keyword VPF invokes the reader in the coverage mode; the keyword VPF_DB invokes the reader in database mode. The typical file extension for the reader in coverage mode is *.*ft, and the typical file extension for the reader in database mode is dht.
