record len1 | (optional) is the record length of the target | |
| AS/400 file (“AS/400 label”). This value defaults | |
| to 128. |
|
retain | (optional) is the file retention (how long the | |
| file is to exist) for the translated “AS/400 | |
| label2”. Allowed values are T or J. Specifying T | |
| results in the file existing indefinitely (until | |
| specifically deleted), and specifying J will | |
| result in the file being automatically deleted at | |
| the end of the current AS/400 job. The default | |
| value is T. |
|
reformat | (optional) specifies the type of data translation | |
| to take place on the AS/400 file. | |
| *TEXT (or *YES) | the file is to be translated |
|
| into ASCII text format. |
| *DIF | the file is to be translated |
|
| into DIF format. |
| *BASICS | the file is to be translated |
|
| into BASIC Sequential format. |
| *TAB | the file is to be translated |
|
| into BASIC Sequential format |
|
| with tab characters as the |
|
| field delimiters. |
| *SAVE | permits offline storage, and |
|
| moves executable programs |
|
| between workstations (see |
|
| below). |
| *NONE | no translation of the file is |
|
| to be performed (the default). |
| When using *SAVE to move executable programs | |
| between workstations, all necessary data | |
| (including Mac data and resource forks) is | |
| transferred. Data is not translated to EBCDIC, | |
| and therefore cannot be used on the host. To | |
| restore data to the workstation, use the FILETOPC | |
| procedure with reformat type *SAVE. | |
xlat file | (optional) is the translation table file. Translation | |
| file members ATOE1 and ATOE3 are provided on the AS/400 | |
| distribution diskette and are used to translate from | |
| the ASCII to the EBCDIC character set. See the EDITABLE | |
| and COMPILE procedures for more information on creating | |
| new translation table files. The default is ATOE1. |
Mac Users: Do not use the “xlate file” default value. You must use the value ATOE1M.
xlat size (optional) is the number of records in the temporary work file used in the translation process. The default value is 1000.
