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.
