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 an |
| *DIF | ASCII text format. |
| the file is to be translated into a | |
| *BASICS | DIF format |
| the file is to be translated into a B | |
| *TAB | BASIC Sequential format. |
| the file is to be translated into a | |
|
| BASIC Sequential format with tab |
| *NONE | characters as the field delimiters. |
| no translation of the file is to be | |
|
| performed (the default). |
xlat file | (optional) is the translation table file on the AS/400 | |
| disk. Translation file members ATOE1 and ATOE3 are | |
provided on the AS/400 distribution diskette for translation 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 value is ATOE1.
Mac Users: Do not use the default “xlate file” 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 |
record len2 | value is 1000. |
(optional) is the record length of the translation work | |
| file. The default value is the record length of the |
| library member work file (“record len1”). |
input specs | is the name of the field definition member in library |
| “spec lib”. These are standard F and I (file/input) RPG |
| input specifications. See Chapter 5, “File Transfer |
| Facility,” for more information on creating F and I RPG |
| specifications. |
truncate | (optional) is YES if data exceeding the record length |
| of the library member work file is to be omitted. |
| Specifying NO causes a new record to be written to |
| contain the overflow. This parameter is ignored if |
| translation is not performed. The default value is NO. |
spec lib | (optional) is the library containing the field |
| definition member (“input specs”), and the translate |
| table member (“xlat table”). If left blank this |
| parameter defaults to the current library. |
lib name | (optional) is the name of the library on the AS/400 to |
| place the members from the workstation. The default is |
| the current library. |
replace | (optional) specifies whether or not (YES or NO |
| respectively) to replace an existing library member |
| without a warning message. The default value is NO. |
