<h1 class="topictitle1">Create a source file</h1>
<div><p>These topics describe how to create a source file.</p>
<div class="p">Before creating a source file, you should first create a library. Then,
to create a source file, use one of the following commands: <ul><li class="liexpand"> Create Source Physical File (CRTSRCPF) command <p>Normally, you use the
CRTSRCPF command to create a source file, because many of the parameters default
to values that you usually want for a source file. </p>
</li>
<li class="liexpand">Create Physical File (CRTPF), or Create Logical File (CRTLF) command <p>If
you want to create a source file and define the record format and fields using
data description specifications (DDS), use the Create Physical File (CRTPF)
or Create Logical File (CRTLF) command.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>As an alternative to creating a source file, you can use source
files supplied with the i5/OS™ and other licensed programs.</p>
