# ISLoad
Loads a vector that has been stored in binary or HDF5 format with `ISView()`.
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscis.h"
PetscErrorCode ISLoad(IS is, PetscViewer viewer)
```
Collective
## Input Parameters
- ***is -*** the newly loaded index set, this needs to have been created with `ISCreate()` or some related function before a call to `ISLoad()`.
- ***viewer -*** binary file viewer, obtained from `PetscViewerBinaryOpen()` or HDF5 file viewer, obtained from `PetscViewerHDF5Open()`
## Notes
IF using HDF5, you must assign the IS the same name as was used in `is`
that was stored in the file using `PetscObjectSetName()`. Otherwise you will
get the error message: "Cannot H5DOpen2() with Vec name NAMEOFOBJECT"
