<div><p>This topic describes the various tasks that can be used to ensure that files are used effectively. </p>
<ul><li>What resources the server has allocated for each file type.</li>
<li>How to move data between different files such as device and database.</li>
<li>The options that exist when an application is used for accessing a file.</li>
<li>The levels of support that exist for shared files.</li>
<li>The process of changing file attributes such as file name, device name or remote location name.</li>
</ul>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3waitf.htm">Allocate file resources</a></strong><br />
Resources are those parts of the server that are required by a job or task, including main storage, devices, the processing unit, programs, files, libraries, and folders. When you write a high-level language program, you should be aware of what resources the server has allocated for each file type.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3copyfile.htm">Copy files</a></strong><br />
The copy function on <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> can
copy physical and logical files, copy members and records, copy complex objects,
and copy files between servers.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3open.htm">Open files</a></strong><br />
When you want an application to use a file, you do so by referring to that file by name. The file description for that file will then control how the program and the server will interact.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3share.htm">Share files</a></strong><br />
File management on <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> provides
several levels of support for shared files. Files can be shared among many
users, many jobs, or many programs within the same job.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3override.htm">Use overrides</a></strong><br />
You can use overrides to temporarily change a file name, a device name associated with the file, or some of the other attributes of a file.</li>
