  You can create new definitions to externally describe the files and still use
them as program described in your S/36 programs.  To handle format consistancy
until you take your programs to native, I would recommend that your I/O specs be
put into /COPY members.

To use the files in SQL I believe you have to create an SQL table, instead of a
CRTPF or CRTLF.
