3.

If you plan to perform Data Exchange operations while you are creating the FCU parameter
definition file, make sure that the Volume File field displays the correct Data Exchange volume
definition file (datasetmount.dat). If not (or if incorrect), FCU will not be able to perform Data
Exchange operations, but you can still create a new FCU parameter definition file.

4.

Select the File-Load command to open the new file.

5.

Enter the desired FCU initiation parameters for the first Data Exchange operation:

• Select the file transfer direction using the M to O button or O to M button.
• Enter the source and target files in the Input File and Output File fields (VSN:dataset, filename

with the complete path if not in current directory).

• Select the desired FCU file transfer options: Code Conversion, Padding, Delimiter, Emp, RDW,

and VSE. See

Performing File Transfer Operations (UNIX)

” on page 107 for further information

on these options.

6.

When the FCU initiation parameters are correct, select the File-Save command to add this
parameter set as the first line in the new FCU parameter definition file. If the Data Exchange
volume definition file is correct, you can perform the operation now by clicking OK. If the OK
button is not enabled, the parameter set has not been saved in the file.

7.

Select the File-Load command to load the next line. The Status field should indicate that you are
at the end of the file. The FCU GUI for UNIX only allows you to add new lines when you are at
the end of the file (right after the last line).

8.

Repeat steps (5), (6), and (7) to add each parameter set to the new FCU parameter definition
file. Make sure to keep Data Exchange operations that use OPEN-x FMT volumes in a separate
FCU parameter definition file from operations that use -A, -B, -C volumes.

9.

If you need to modify an existing line, go to the line to be modified using the File-Load command,
change the parameters as needed, and then use the File-Save command to replace the line that
was loaded.

10.

If you need to insert a new line between existing lines, use a text editor later to edit the file. You
cannot add a new line between existing lines using the FCU GUI for UNIX.

11.

When you are finished adding lines to your new FCU parameter definition file, make sure that
you have selected the File-Save command for the last parameter set you added or modified, and
then select the File-Exit menu command to close the file and exit FCU.

Creating Multiple Volume Definition Files (UNIX)

Multiple Volume Dataset is supported for FXmto, when the version is 01-XX-50/YY (XX = 01 or 02)
or later. Multiple Volume Dataset is also supported for FXotm when the version is 01-XX-60/YY (XX
= 02, 03, or 04) or later. The name of the multiple volume definition file is multidef.dat. It must
be placed under the current directory where the Data Exchange is to be executed. Specify the other
name in FAL_MULTI_DEF_FILE of the environment variable, if the name of the multiple volume definition
file needs to be changed.

NOTE:

Multiple Volume Dataset is supported in the case of FXotm when the version is 01-

XX-60/YY (XX =

02, 03, or 04) or later.

Figure 68
