Length

May be from 1 to 9989 bytes long.

If an ASCII fixed-record-length translation is to be

performed, specify *FILE to produce the desired file. If not

translating to ASCII fixed-length records, any record length

may be specified that could allow for better performance by

buffering the data.

FLDSEL

Allows the transfer of up to 25 user-specified fields from
the host to the micro. For each field to be transferred to

the micro, specify the following set of parameters: Field

Name, Key Field, Ascending or Descending Order.

See Chapter 9, Advanced ETU Features, for examples of using

field selection.

NOTE:

Field selection can be used only with externally described

files.

Field Name

The name of the field to be transferred. The
default, *ALL, transfers all the fields in the

file. To transfer multiple fields, enter the name

of each field to be transferred. Enter a plus

sign ( ) and press ENTER to display multiple

prompts.

Key Field

Sets the sort order of the records in the file
after the file is transferred to the micro. The

default, *NONE, does not re-sort the records, but

leaves them in sequential order.

Valid Key Field values are *KEY1, *KEY2, *KEY3,

up to *KEY25. For the field with the highest sort

priority, enter *KEY1.

Ascending or Descending Specifies how records are sorted based on the key

field value. Enter *ASC to sort records in

ascending order and *DES in descending order

RECSEL

Allows the transfer of user-specified records to the micro.
The records that are transferred are selected based on the

test cases you supply in the following parameters:

Relationship, Field to be Tested, Relational Operator, and

Comparison Value.

You may create up to 15 test cases. To display multiple

prompts, enter a plus sign ( ) and press ENTER.

An example of a test case might be: if the value in the TOTAL

field is greater than 1000, then transfer the record. In this

example, 'if' is the relationship, 'TOTAL' is the field to be

tested, 'greater than' is the relational operator, and '1000'

is the comparison value.

NOTE: Record selection can be used only with externally
described files.

Relationship

Relates one test case to another. The first test
case must use *IF. The default, *NONE, transfers
