Name
Name of the file.
In the case of a Data Area, specify the extension ".ARA".
Mandatory entry.
Dir/Lib
Name of a directory or library containing the file specified in the "Name" field.
Default values can be specified: *LIBL or *CURRENT.
Mandatory entry for the "*DFT (AS/400)" and "*DFT (Btrieve)" files.
For other files, this field can be left blank. Reference will then be made to the "*DFT (AS/400)" and "*DFT (Btrieve)" line parameters.
