<h1 class="topictitle1">Override files with different file types</h1>
|
|||
|
<div><p>Use this information to learn how the system processes a file that
|
|||
|
is changed to a different type of file.</p>
|
|||
|
<p>If you change to a different type of file, the system ignores the device-dependent
|
|||
|
characteristics and reads or writes the records sequentially. The program
|
|||
|
must specify some device parameters in the new device file or the override.
|
|||
|
The system takes default parameters for others. This manual describes the
|
|||
|
effect of specific redirection combinations later in this section.</p>
|
|||
|
<p>The system ignores any attributes specified on overrides of a different
|
|||
|
file type than the final file type. The parameters SPOOL, SHARE, OPNSCOPE,
|
|||
|
and SECURE are exceptions
|
|||
|
to this rule. The system accepts the above parameters from any override to
|
|||
|
the file, regardless of device type.</p>
|
|||
|
<p>Some redirection combinations present special problems due to the specific
|
|||
|
characteristics of the device. In particular:</p>
|
|||
|
<ul><li>Do not use file redirection for save files.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>You can redirect nonsequentially processed database files only to another
|
|||
|
database file or a DDM file.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>You can redirect display files and ICF files that use multiple devices
|
|||
|
(MAXDEV or MAXPGMDEV > 1) only to a display file or ICF file.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>Redirecting a display file to any other file type, or another file type
|
|||
|
to a display file, requires: <ul><li>That the program be recompiled, with the override active, if there are
|
|||
|
any input-only or output only fields.</li>
|
|||
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
This is necessary because the display file omits these unused fields
|
|||
|
from the record buffer, but other file types do not.</li>
|
|||
|
</ul>
