record len1 | (optional) is the record length of the library | |
| member(s) to be sent to the workstation. This parameter | |
| defaults to 96 if SOURCE is specified for “member | |
| type”, 120 if PROC or LIBRARY is specified, or 8 if | |
| LOAD or SUBR is specified. A record length of 8 | |
| creates a sector mode file, and 40 to 120 create record | |
| mode files. |
|
file size | (optional) is the number of records in the temporary | |
| work file used in the translation process. The default | |
| value is 1000. | |
remove ctl | (optional) specifies whether to remove the AS/400 | |
| utility control ($MAINT) statements from the library | |
| member(s) before they are sent to the workstation. | |
| Specifying YES removes the statements. The default | |
| value is NO. |
|
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 DIF | |
| *BASICS | format. |
| the file is to be translated into a BASIC | |
| *TAB | Sequential format. |
| the file is to be translated into a BASIC | |
|
| Sequential format with tab characters as |
| *NONE | the field delimiters. |
| no translation of the file is to be | |
|
| performed (the default). |
xlat file | (optional) is the translation table file. Translation | |
| file member ETOA1 is provided on the AS/400 | |
distribution diskette and can be used to translate from the EBCDIC to the ASCII character set in variable length records. Translation file member ETOA2 is provided on the AS/400 distribution diskette and can be used to translate from the EBCDIC to the ASCII character set in fixed length records. See the EDITABLE and COMPILE procedures for more information on creating new translation table files. The default value is ETOA1.
Mac Users: Do not use the default value. You must use either ETOA1M for variable length records or ETOA2M for fixed length records.
record len2 (optional) is the record length of the translated
input specs is the name of the field definition member in library “spec lib” that defines the fields of the file being translated. These are standard F and I (file/input) RPG specifications, defining the file and its fields. See Chapter 4, “File Transfer Facility,” for more information on creating F and I RPG specifications.
