XLATETO Example
Suppose there is a file on the AS/400 that you want to transfer to your
Mac. Before you transfer the file, you will translate it using the
XLATETO command.
For this example, the file on the host is called LOT14. It contains one
member, also called LOT14. After the data is translated, it will be
written to a newly created host file called DATA3. The data will
ultimately be transferred to a variable-length record on the Mac. Use the
file definition of the FRMFILE parameter for the PCDATA file. Submit the
XLATETO command to batch by specifying a job description.
