Library The library containing the PCDATA file. *LIBL is the default.

PCMBR The PCDATA file member name. The default is *FILE.

TOFILE The qualified file name of the AS/400 file into which the micro data is to be written.

Library The library containing the TOFILE file. *LIBL is the default.

TOMBR The TOFILE member name. If the member does not exist, it will be added to the file. If it does exist, the member will first be cleared before the current data is written. The default is *FILE.

RECL The record length of the AS/400 file. It is the actual data length. If you specify SRCSEQ(*YES), the record length used in allocating the file is 12 greater than that supplied in this parameter, to make room for the sequence number/date field being added. You must specify the record length of the file if the TOFILE file is to be created. If the file already exists, the specified length must be 0 or must match the file record length. Any length from 1 to 9989 is supported.

FILETYPE The type of TOFILE file to be created.

*DATA A physical file is created (the default). *SRC A source physical file is created.

SRCSEQ Specifies whether a 12-byte source sequence number and data field is to be written in the first 12 bytes of the record. This allows the translated record to be read by the AS/400 Source Entry Utility (SEU). Note that SRCSEQ can be specified even if the file is not translated, in which case untranslated data would be sequenced. This parameter also affects the actual record length of the file.

*NO Do not add the sequence number/date field. The record length is equal to that specified. *NO is the default.

*YES Add the sequence number/date field. Actual record length is 12 greater than the specified record length.

TRANSLATE The type of file translation that is to occur.

*TEXT The qualified file exists in ASCII text format. This is the default.

*DIF The qualified file exists in DIF format.

*BASICS The qualified file exists in BASIC Sequential format.

*TAB The qualified file exists in BASIC Sequential format with tab characters as field delimiters.
