reformat

(optional) specifies the type of data translation to

 

take place on the AS/400 file.

 

*TEXT (or *YES)

*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.

place the members from the workstation. The default is

 

the current library.

respectively) to replace an existing library member

 

without a warning message. The default value is NO.
