record len1 

(optional) is the record length of the library
member(s) to be sent to the workstation. This parameter

defaults to 96 if SOURCE is specified for “member

type”, 120 if PROC or LIBRARY is specified, or 8 if

LOAD or SUBR is specified. A record length of 8 

creates a sector mode file, and 40 to 120 create record

mode files.

file size 

(optional) is the number of records in the temporary 
work file used in the translation process. The default

value is 1000.

remove ctl 

(optional) specifies whether to remove the AS/400
utility control ($MAINT) statements from the library

member(s) before they are sent to the workstation.

Specifying YES removes the statements. The default

value is NO.

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).

(optional) is the translation table file. 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.

Do not use the default value. You must use either

ETOA1M for variable length records or ETOA2M for fixed length records.

record len2 

(optional) is the record length of the translated
(workstation-formatted) AS/400 file to be sent to the

workstation. This parameter defaults to “record len1”,

and is ignored if translation is not performed.

is the name of the field definition member in library
“spec lib” that defines the fields of the file being

translated. These are standard F and I (file/input) RPG

specifications, defining the file and its fields. See

Chapter 4, “File Transfer Facility,” for more

information on creating F and I RPG specifications.
