Specifying the Files

Specifying the Files

File translation table records must be formatted as follows:

Record PositionEntry
1-7*EQUATE
8-10Leave these positions blank.
11-80Enter the name(s) of file(s) to be translated. If more than one file is to be translated, the file names must be separated by commas.

Additional file names are associated with the table until a file name not followed by a comma is encountered. A file name cannot be split between two records; a comma following a file name must be on the same record as the file name. You can create only one file translation table by using *EQUATE.
