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
ASCII text format.
*DIF the file is to be translated into a
DIF format
*BASICS the file is to be translated into a B
BASIC Sequential format.
*TAB the file is to be translated into a
BASIC Sequential format with tab
characters as the field delimiters.
*NONE 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
value is 1000.
record len2 (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.
