At the top of the display, the File ID field shows the file ID of the file that appears in the File field. This file is the one for which you want to choose a record format. The Library field shows the library in which the file is stored.

The names of the record formats that you can select for the file shown at the top of the display are shown in the Format column. You can choose a record format by either typing a 1 in the Opt column to the left of the record format or by typing a record format name (and a 1 in the Opt column next to it) in the first position in the list.

If you specify a record format name in the top position, that record format must also exist at this time. If you specify *FIRST, the format name on the previous display is changed to the actual name of the first record format in the file. It is possible that some record formats cannot be used with certain file members, but this is not determined until the Specify File Selections display is processed.

You can use F11 to alternate between showing a list of only record format names to showing a list of both record format names and text describing the record formats.

When you press the Enter key, you return to the Specify File Selections display, and the name of the format that you selected is shown in the Format prompt that you came from. If you return to the previous display without selecting or specifying a name, the previous record format name or value is not changed.
