<h3>Overlay (OVL)</h3>
<p>Specifies the qualified name of the overlay that is converted. This is a required parameter.
</p>
<p>The possible library values are:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><u>*LIBL</u></b></dt>
<dd>The library list is used to locate the overlay.
</dd>
<dt><b>*CURLIB</b></dt>
<dd>The current library for the job is used to locate the overlay. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, QGPL is used.
</dd>
<dt><b><i>library-name</i></b></dt>

<h3>Format of data (DTAFMT)</h3>
<p>Specifies how data are filled in a physical file member.
</p>
<p>The possible values are:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b>*FIXED</b></dt>
<dd>One record has one structured field. The padding character is binary 0s. The record length of the file using fixed format is the longest length of the AFPDS structured fields in the overlay or the page segment. If the length of the existing file is smaller than the longest length of the structured field, an error message is displayed. If the length of the existing file is larger than the longest length of the structured field, padding characters are added to the end of the records. This format is for the VM system or the MVS system.
</dd>
<dt><b>*CONTINUOUS</b></dt>
<dd>The structured fields are filled continuously and folded. Only the last record has padding characters; the padding characters are binary 0s. Any record length of the existing file is allowed. The created record length of the file is 256 bytes. This format is for the OS/2 system.
</dd>
</dl>
