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
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 member ETOA1 is provided on the
AS/400 distribution diskette and can be used to
translate from the EBCDIC to the ASCII character set in
variable length records. Translation file member ETOA2
is provided on the AS/400 distribution diskette and can
be used to translate from the EBCDIC to the ASCII
character set in fixed length records. See the EDITABLE
and COMPILE procedures for more information on creating
new translation table files. The default value is
ETOA1.
Mac Users: Do not use the “xlate file” default value. You must use
either ETOA1M for variable length records or ETOA2M for fixed length
records.
xlat size (optional) is the number of records in the temporary
work file used in the translation process. The default
value is 1000.
record len (optional) is the record length of the output file
(“AS/400 label2”). The default value is 128.
input specs is the name of the field definition member in user
library “spec lib”. These are standard F and I
(file/input) RPG specifications, defining the file and
its fields. See Appendix D, “Creating F&I
Specifications,” for more information on creating the F
and I RPG specs.
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.
