RE: How to create a jeyed file without DDS

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Denis,

When I did this to my S36 OCLs and converted them to CLP, what I
did was build the file in a data library using DDS with my keys
and everything that was specified in the BLDFILE instruction.

At the point in the OCL where it did the BLDFILE I would do something
like:
CRTDUPOBJ QS36F/AP035TMP QTEMP/AP035TMP DUPDTA(*NO)
although you'll probably have to correct the syntax on that.
In most cases that was all that was needed, if the OCL created and
opened the file using the library list.  If not, I just had to either
change the hard coded library to use the library list, or change it to
QTEMP as appropriate.

HTH,

Regards,

Jim Langston

Subject: How to create a jeyed file without DDS

Hello all,

In our effort to eliminate our S36 code, I was ask to develop a command to
replace the BLDFILE instruction. This command will do some extra processing
for us. My problem is the following: I have no problem creating a sequential
file without a DDS source member but I do not know how to create a keyed
file without a DDS source member. The CRTPF command does not offer me the
option to specify a key.

Any idea?

Thanks
