Re: IFS CL Program

One consideration is that characters like |<> are not invariant in EBCDIC (they are not in the same code points in all flavors of EBCDIC) - meaning that if the source is taken to a different CCSID, they will not be what you expect.

For that reason, the longer operators, with only the asterisk and alpha characters, are recommended.

Just a crazy thing to be aware of, right?

And you might as well simplify it to

Or simplify it to:

EXPORT: EXPDTMDOC DOC(&NAMEOBJ) DIR(&PATHDIR) TOFMT(*CSV) +
NEWOBJ(&OBJECT *TCAT '.CSV') +
TODIR('/DTMDIR/EXPDOCS')

Or:

EXPORT: EXPDTMDOC DOC(&NAMEOBJ) DIR(&PATHDIR) TOFMT(*CSV) +
NEWOBJ(&OBJECT |< '.CSV') +
TODIR('/DTMDIR/EXPDOCS')

*TCAT and/or |< joins two strings trimming the first string.
