*BASICS

Converts the file to BASIC Sequential format.

*TAB

Converts the file to BASIC Sequential format with
tab characters as the delimiters.

TRANSFILE

The file name of the translation table file to be used. The
default is TRANSLATE.

Mac Users:

There are two files you can use.

If you use the default file (TRANSLATE), the member names have an M on
the end of the name (for example, ETOA1M). The Mac translation members

are also shipped in a file called MACTAB. The members in this file do not

have the M at the end of the name (for example, ETOA1)

Library

The library containing the TRANSFILE. *LIBL is the
default

TRANSMBR

The TRANSFILE member name. The default is ETOA1.

RECL

The record length of the translation work file record length.
Valid record length entries are:

*FILE

Indicates that the record length of the FRMFILE
will be used.

0

Specifies that PCDATA file already exists and the
current record length will be used.

1-9989

Specifies the record length for the translation
work file.

If an ASCII fixed-record-length translation is to be

performed, specify *FILE to produce the desired file. If you

are not translating to ASCII fixed-length records, you may

specify any record length. This could allow for better

performance by buffering the data.

JOBD

The qualified name of the job description to be used if
XLATETO is to be placed in a job queue. If blank, the XLATETO

command will be executed interactively (this is the default).

When JOBD is specified, XLATETO will execute the SBMJOB

command automatically, and then release the micro for other

work.

Library

The library containing the job description. *LIBL is
the default.

FLDDEFFILE If the file being translated is the translation type *DIF,

*BASICS, or *TAB, and is not externally defined with either

DDS or F&I specs, you must specify either a source physical

file containing data definition specifications (DDS), or an

RPG source file containing F&I specifications.

When transferring a *TEXT file or any other file that was

previously defined with DDS or F&I specs, use the default,

*NONE, or its equivalent, *DDS.
