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 members ATOE1 and ATOE3 are
provided on the AS/400 distribution diskette for
translating from the ASCII to the EBCDIC character set.
See the EDITABLE and COMPILE procedures for more
information on creating new translation table files.
The default value is ATOE1.
Mac Users: Do not use the default “xlat file” value. You must use
the value ATOE1M.
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 operator
library “spec lib”. These are standard F and I
(file/input) RPG specifications, defining the file and
its fields. This member is required only for the field-
oriented translation methods (*DIF, *BASICS, *TAB). See
Appendix D for more information on creating F and I RPG
specifications.
truncate (optional) is YES if data exceeding the record length
of “AS/400label2” is to be omitted. Specifying NO will
cause a new record to be written to contain the
overflow. This default value is NO.
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.
