Create physical files

When you create a physical file, display file, and printer file for a DBCS environment, consider the IGCDTA parameter in these commands.

• Create Physical File (CRTPF) command

  If DBCS fields are described in DDS, the system treats the file as a DBCS file. Otherwise, specify *YES for the parameter of the CRTPF command so that the file can contain double-byte character set data. However, the system ignores the IGCDTA parameter value when a value for the RCDLEN parameter is not specified.

• Create Display File (CRTDSPF) and Create Printer File (CRTPRTF) commands

  Specify *YES for the parameter when using the CRTDSPF or CRTPRTF commands to create the externally described files. Then DBCS attributes, in addition to those defined in the DDS, can be specified.
