Create a member in a given file? -- JAVA400-L

I need to create a member in a file.I have the full name of the member file in an IFSFile object (i.e./QSYS.LIB/XQ41EXI01.LIB/EDIPOMATCE.FILE/MACT9S0BYG.MBR) and I intend toopen it as a SequentialFile, create a Record per line and put in thedata I need, and write it to the SequentialFile.

Currently my code looks pretty much like:

----

IFSFile logMember = new IFSFile(system,logFile.getAbsolutePath() + "/" + member.getName());if (logMember.exists()) {throw new IllegalStateException("Member already exists inerror file " + logMember);

SequentialFile sequentialFile =getSequentialFileWithRecordFormatSet(system, logMember.getAbsolutePath());

       sequentialFile.open();
       sequentialFile.positionCursorAfterLast();

Record record1 = sequentialFile.getRecordFormat().getNewRecord();

       record1.setField(0, "UNB01PEVRETUR");
       sequentialFile.write(record1);
--.-. where getSequentialFile looks like

private SequentialFile getSequentialFileWithRecordFormatSet(AS400system, String absolutePath) throws AS400Exception,AS400SecurityException, InterruptedException, IOException,PropertyVetoException {AS400FileRecordDescription recordDescription = newAS400FileRecordDescription( system, absolutePath);

SequentialFile sequentialFile = new SequentialFile(system,absolutePath);RecordFormat[] retrieveRecordFormat =recordDescription.retrieveRecordFormat();

       if (retrieveRecordFormat.length != 1) {

log.warn("file does not have exactly one member: " +absolutePath);

       }
       RecordFormat recordFormat = retrieveRecordFormat[0];
       sequentialFile.setRecordFormat(recordFormat);
       return sequentialFile;
   }

------

This is very similar to what I do when reading from a member, but theonly create method I can find creates the sequentialFile, not themember. Apparently "create member" is not the right term to search foreither in google or the toolbox manual, so I am a bit lost now. I don'tgrok Cobol, so I have no idea what it might be called instead.


I would appreciate a gentle hint in the right direction.

Best regards,
