Description

This object defines the FLAM4 read operation for files. This method reads records from a FLAMFILE of version 4 or older. It uses the FLAM4 record interface to read members from a FLAMFILE. The parameters below are explained in detail by the FLAM command of FLCL.

Arguments

• STRING: NAME/FLAMFILE/FILE['str'/STREAM/DUMMY...] - Name/URL of FLAMFILE to read [STDIN]
  • STREAM - Read from stdin or write to stdout
  • DUMMY - Read EOF or write nothing
• STRING: MEMBER='str' - Name or index of the member in the FLAMFILE
• NUMBER: RECLEN=num - Maximum record length for read operations [512]
• NUMBER: RECCNT=num - Amount of records handled in one read operation [128]
• SWITCH: TRUCAT - Allow truncation of records [FALSE]
• SWITCH: NONFIL - Switch to replace original file name with FILEnnnn [FALSE]
• NUMBER: DEVICE=FILE/DISK/TAPE/FLOPPY/STREAMER/USER - Device used to store the FLAMFILE [FLATFILE]
  • FILE - Write to a file (equal to disk)
  • DISK - Write to a disk (equal to file)
  • TAPE - Write to a tape
  • FLOPPY - Write to a floppy
  • STREAMER - Write to a streamer tape
  • USER - Use user IO
• STRING: PASSWD='bin'/DEFAULT - Passphrase to decrypt the FLAMFILE ['']
  • DEFAULT - FLAM4 default password
• STRING: KMELIB='str' - Library name for FKME ['']
• STRING: KMEFUC='str' - Function name of FKME ['']
• STRING: KMEPAR='bin' - Parameter for the call of FKME ['']
• STRING: EXTCMP/EXK20='str' - Name of user exit for compression
• STRING: EXTDCO/EXD20='str' - Name of user exit for decompression
• NUMBER: FLFCDP=REWIND/UNLOAD/LEAVE - Close disposition for the FLAMFILE (mainly host related)
  • REWIND - Rewind the tape to the beginning
  • UNLOAD - Rewind the tape and unload it
  • LEAVE - Do not rewind
• NUMBER: SECINF=YES/NO/IGNORE/MEMBER - Define handling of secure information
  • YES - Create secure information at compression
  • NO - Do not store any additional secure information
  • IGNORE - Ignore any security violations on decompression
  • MEMBER - Only member-specific security information is verified
