<h1 class="topictitle1">Open considerations for inline data files</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>The following considerations apply to opening inline data files: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Record length specifies the length of the input records. (Record length
|
||
|
|
is optional.) When the record length exceeds the length of the data, a message
|
||
|
|
is sent to your program. The data is padded with blanks. When the record length
|
||
|
|
is less than the data length, the records are truncated. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>When a file is specified in a program, the server searches for the file
|
||
|
|
as a named inline data file before it searches for the file in a library.
|
||
|
|
Therefore, if a named inline data file has the same name as a file that is
|
||
|
|
not an inline data file, the inline data file is always used, even if the
|
||
|
|
file name is qualified by a library name. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Named inline data files can be shared between programs in the same job
|
||
|
|
by specifying SHARE(*YES) on a create file or override file command. For example,
|
||
|
|
if an override file command specifying a file named INPUT and SHARE(*YES)
|
||
|
|
is in a batch job with an inline data file named INPUT, any programs running
|
||
|
|
in the job that specify the file name INPUT will share the same named inline
|
||
|
|
data file. Unnamed inline data files cannot be shared between programs in
|
||
|
|
the same job.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>When you use inline data files, you should make sure the correct file
|
||
|
|
type is specified on the //DATA command. For example, if the file is to be
|
||
|
|
used as a source file, the file type on the //DATA command must be source. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Inline data files must be opened for input only.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
