The XLATETO command translates a AS/400 physical file to a format usable

on the microcomputer. You will use this command prior to transferring the

file to the PC with the FROM3XB command.

After you translate the data, you must enter the following FROM3XB

parameters as shown:

When the file is translated, it is written to a different host file,

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

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

file and the member, for the RECL parameter, specify zero.

For new files, enter the file and member names (XLATETO will create

these). If you are translating a source physical file, you can remove the

first 12 bytes from each record (which contain the source sequence number

and date field), by specifying *YES as the STRIP parameter.

If you are translating an ASCII file with a fixed record length, enter

*FILE in the RECL parameter. This tells ETU to use the record length of

the FRMFILE.

For more information on the FROM3XB command see Chapter 5, Transferring

Files, and Chapter 10, ETU Command Reference.
