A record format name is a name that's assigned to a particular format of
a record. In other words, to the field names, data types, and positions
within the record that makes up the format.
Therefore, if you want to specify a record format name, you must also
specify all of the field details!
In V5R4, you can specify a record format name from within an SQL Create
Table statement.
In previous releases, the only way to (directly) specify the record
format name is with DDS source.
It can't be done with fopen(), because fopen() doesn't let you specify
the fields and their attributes. But, your C program could create a
temporary source PF in QTEMP, write DDS to that source PF, and then run
the CRTPF command to create a file with the fields and record format
information all specified.

When creating a new file in QSYS using fopen, is there any way of
specifying the record format name?
Alternatively, once the file is created, is there any way of changing
the record format name (of a program described physical file)?
Alternatively, how can I create a physical file from my c program and
specify my own record format name?
