Transferring Data Files
The ETU commands FROM3XB and TO3XB transfer data files between the host and a microcomputer.
Transferring Data Files From Host to a Microcomputer:
The FROM3XB Command
With the FROM3XB command, you can transfer and translate data from an AS/400 physical, logical, or *SAVF file to a file on the micro.
To transfer a file using FROM3XB, specify the name of the host file you want to transfer, the name of the microcomputer file to which it will be transferred, and optionally, the translation information, which includes the translation type, translation table, and file definition or record length.
If you are transferring a source physical file to the microcomputer, you can remove the
If you prefer not to have the data translated during the FROM3XB operation, you can use the translation command XLATETO prior to using FROM3XB.
If you translate the file with the XLATETO command, you must specify TRANSLATE (*NONE) in the FROM3XB command. See Chapter 4, Learning About ETU, for details about the translation types.
ETU supports
FROM3XB can be run only from the micro to which the file is to be transferred. Figure
FROM3XB Example
Suppose there is a physical file on the host called SALES that contains a member called USER1. The file was previously translated using the XLATETO command. The Mac file is stored in a folder called STORE1 and is called SALES. In this example, you will transfer this file to a Mac with no translation.
1.Choose option 1 from the ETU Main menu. The FROM3XB screen displays.
2.Enter the host file name at the File name prompt: sales
Use the default, *LIBL, as the library name. *LIBL searches all libraries in your library list for the specified file.
