The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

I need a flat file with a large record length to send to Excel, so I
CRTPF FILENAME rcdlen(3000)
CRTPF FILENAME RCDLEN(specified) creates a /flat file/ which requires
the program to describe the file; i.e. a program described file. Unless
the utility being used can be told how to describe the file [because an
external description is not available to the utility-as-the program], a
utility may honor the definition of the undescribed file as CCSID(*HEX)
[aka CCSID(65535)] meaning "do not translate" the data.
One option is to use CRTSRCPF FILENAME RCDLEN(3012) instead, to
create an externally described text [aka source] file, optionally
specifying a CCSID() other than the default of CCSID(*JOB).
Another option is to use
CREATE TABLE FILENAME (
aField CHAR(3000) /* CCSID specified-or-dft-job-CCSID */ not null )
