In this example, you will transfer a file on your PC to a new host

physical file. The file on the PC is called c:\sales\january\week1.sal.

The host physical file is called JANSAL1 in a member called REG1. To

define the host file, use the existing host file definition (DDS)

contained in member SALE in the source physical file QDDSSRC. Use the

translation type *BASICS.

2. Enter the host file name at the File name prompt:

jansal
