The translation commands XLATEFROM and XLATETO translate files separately

from the transfer commands TO3XB and FROM3XB.

These commands can be initiated from the microcomputer that contains or

will contain the file, or from any host terminal. They can be run

interactively or in batch mode. To run them interactively, leave the JOBD

parameter blank.

There are two ways to submit the commands to batch; you can use the

AS/400 command SBMJOB, or submit the command to batch within the context

of the XLATEFROM and XLATETO commands by filling out the JOBD parameter.

If you use the SBMJOB command, leave the JOBD parameter blank.

The XLATEFROM command translates a data file on the host after the file

has been received from the micro with the TO3XB command. You can use

XLATEFROM only if the TO3XB parameters were coded as shown:

For more information on the TO3XB command see Chapter 5, Transferring

Files, and Chapter 10, ETU Command Reference.

After the file is translated, it will be written to a different host

file, which you specify in the TOFILE parameter. The TOFILE can be an

existing file or a new file. For existing files, enter the names of the

file and the member. For new files, enter the new file and member names

(XLATEFROM will create these); the file type, (it can be a physical file

or a source physical file); and the source file and member containing the

file definition (DDS).

If you create a source physical file, you can have ETU add a 12-byte

source sequence number and date field to the beginning of each record.

This allows the record to be read by Source Entry Utility (SEU) after it

is translated. Specify *YES for the SRCSEQ parameter to add the sequence

number and date field.
