Go to the XRF module and generate the cross reference. You can then use
the XRF inquiries to interrogate file definitions for the BPCS physicals
and logicals.

To get a hardcopy of all the layouts.

Run XRF270, and print the output spool file XRF270O

To get a PC based soft copy

Create a physical file with a character length longer than the column
width of XRF270O, which is the spool file output from this program.

Run the AS\400 command CPYSPLF and convert the spool file XRF270O into
the physical file you created

Use client access to transfer this file to your PC.

Import this file into a PC based word processing or spreadsheet program
of your choice.

Tidy it up and season to taste
