This is the starting panel for preloading a conversion set. When you preload a conversion set, the file names in the source libraries and the target library are compared. For each matching file name in the source and target libraries a conversion specification header is added or updated. For each conversion specification the file record format in the source and target files are compared to add or update the field specifications. The program will try to match the field names in the source file with the field names in the target file. The field specifications that are created contain the from-to positions of the matched fields from the source file record format.
Function keys
| F2 | Create the conversion specification headers interactively. Note: A single batch job for each conversion specification is always submitted to add or update the field specifications. |
- Conversion set
- Displays the conversion set that you selected on the previous panel.
- Option
- Enter the option.
Code Description A All matching file names in the source and target libraries that do not exist as conversion specification will be added to the displayed conversion set. U All matching file names in the source and target libraries that exist as conversion specifications belonging to the entered subset will updated in the displayed conversion set.
- Subset
- Enter a subset for the new or existing conversion specifications.
- Identity
- You may enter an identity for the new or existing conversion specification.
- PTF/Mod number
- You may enter a PTF and modification number for the new or existing conversion specifications.
- Source library
- Enter the name of the library containing the files from which you want to convert data.
If you enter *CVTSETSRC, the libraries for the displayed conversion set in the Src lib field on the Edit conversion set (CVTD1021) panel will be searched to find the source files.
If you enter *CVTSETTGT, the library for the displayed conversion set in the Target library field on the Edit conversion set (CVTD1021) panel will be searched to find the target files.
- Target library
- Enter the name of the library containing the files to which you want to convert data.
If you enter *CVTSETTGT, the library for the displayed conversion set in the Target library field on the Edit conversion set (CVTD1021) panel will be searched to find the target files.
- Reset default field functions
- Indicate if you want to reset the default field functions. Default field functions are defined on the Work with default field functions (CVTD2001) panel. Note: This option is useful when a large number of specifications have already been created and a new default field function has been added for the displayed conversion set. Resetting default field functions does not alter manually maintained field specifications on the Maintain field specifications (CVTD4041) panel.
- Reset field to field connections
- Indicate if you want to reset the field to field connections. If you set this field to YES, the from-to positions for the existing field specifications are reset. Note: Resetting field to field connections does not alter manually maintained field specifications on the Maintain field specifications (CVTD4041) panel.
