<h1 class="topictitle1">Use device source files</h1>
|
||
<div><p>Tape and diskette files can be created as source files. When device
|
||
files are used as source files, the record length must include the sequence
|
||
number and date fields. </p>
|
||
<p>Any maximum record length restrictions must consider these additional 12
|
||
characters. For example, the maximum record length for a tape record is 32 766.
|
||
If data is to be processed as source input, the actual tape data record has
|
||
a maximum length of 32 754 (which is 32 766 minus 12).</p>
|
||
<p>If you open source device files for input, the system adds the sequence
|
||
number and date fields, but there are zeros in the date fields.</p>
|
||
<p>If you open a device file for output and the file is defined as a source
|
||
file, the system deletes the sequence number and date before writing the data
|
||
to the device.</p>
