Creating the File on the AS-400

In order to feed the Adelia Studio file of files from the AS/400 file of files, you first have to create the AS/400 file of files.

The procedure is described below:

1. Create the file records observing the Adelia file syntax in an IBM source file (created via the CRTSRCPF command).
   This can be done either by writing a program or by using the CPYF command and adding the delimiters (',' and ';') manually in the SEU Source editor.
2. Then create a macro-instruction on the AS/400.
3. In the SEU Source editor, copy the member from the file created above as macro-instruction text.
   
   

Example:

• • Create the source file: CRTSRCPF QGPL/QSOURCE
    
    
  • Add a source member: ADDPFM FILE(QGPL/QSOURCE) MBR(MBRSRC)
    
    
  • When the knowledge base's file of files is used, you must create an Adelia program which will create, for each FICHIEP record, a source line containing the FI_FILE_NAM, FI_PREFIX_COD, FI_FILE_DES fields observing the following syntax:
    FI_FILE_NAM,FI_PREFIX_COD,FI_FILE_DES
    
    
  • Before running the program, do not forget to run:
    OVRDBF FILE(QSOURCE) TOFILE(QGPL/QSOURCE) MBR(MBRSRC)
    
    
  • Create a macro-instruction in an Adelia environment (for example MAC_001).
    
    
  • Then, in the SEU Source editor, copy the source member indicating:
    
    

It is then necessary to retrieve the file in Adelia Studio.
