<h1 class="topictitle1">Create a physical file</h1>
|

|
<div><p>This topic shows how to create a physical file using data description
|
||
|
|
specifications (DDS). </p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">You need to create a library and a source file before you create a
|
||
|
|
physical file.</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>To create a physical file, follow these steps:</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>If you are using DDS, enter DDS for the physical file into a source
|
||
|
|
file. </span> This can be done using the source entry utility (SEU). SEU
|
||
|
|
is part of IBM<sup>®</sup> WebSphere<sup>®</sup> Development
|
||
|
|
Studio for iSeries™. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Create the physical file. </span> You can use the Create Physical
|
||
|
|
File (CRTPF) command, or the Create Source Physical File (CRTSRCPF) command.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"> <div class="p">The
|
||
|
|
following command creates a one-member file using DDS and places it in a library
|
||
|
|
called DSTPRODLB. <pre>CRTPF FILE(DSTPRODLB/ORDHDRP)
|
||
|
|
TEXT('Order header physical file')</pre>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>As shown, this
|
||
|
|
command uses defaults. For the SRCFILE and SRCMBR parameters, the system uses
|
||
|
|
DDS in the source file called QDDSSRC and the member named ORDHDRP (the same
|
||
|
|
as the file name). The file ORDHDRP with one member of the same name is placed
|
||
|
|
in the library DSTPRODLB.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Similar to physical files are tables. Tables
|
||
|
|
can be created using iSeries Navigator or using the CREATE TABLE SQL statement. </p>
