Re: pf-dta

There are many methods of creating PF files.  One is to 
use CRTPF.  This method has two sub alternatives.  With 
or without DDS.  Try using the command DSPFFD against the 
file.  If you see more than one field than the CRTPF 
command without DDS method was not used.  If you do see 
fields than either SQL was used to create the file, or, 
the CRTPF command with DDS method was used.  Use the 
command DSPOBJD OBJ(lib/file) OBJTYPE(*FILE) DETAIL(*SERVICE).  
If you see an entry under source file, usually lib/QDDSSRC, 
then the CRTPF with DDS method was used.  Dig out your DDS 
manual, also available at IBM's web site.  And start larnin' 
fella.  Backup the file before using the command CRTPF.

I am trying to create a data file.
 I already have a file called RATE PF-DTA on my system which has some of the
data I would like to use but need to pass a couple of more parameters than
what is in RATE PF-DTA. I tried to edit this file but it seems that when I
add lines, it places them as another record to that file. This won't work so
I through I'd create another PF-DTA file. The manual said to use WRKF and
press F6 to create. WRKF does not have a F6 key, is it because I'm on V3R7?
Next I tried CRTSRCPF but that creates a PF-SRC file. 
What is the method for creating PF-DTA files?
TIA,
Art
