AFP Utilities Fundamentals (Concepts)
This section describes the concepts and terminology used in AFP Utilities for
AS/400.
Libraries, Files, and Members
Information or data is organized and stored on your system in various forms. When
you work with AFP Utilities for AS/400, you need to understand the relationship
between libraries, files, and members on the AS/400. A library is a place on the
system to store files and objects. A file contains one or more members. When a
file is copied to another file, all the members that are contained in the original file
are copied to the new file also. When a file is erased, all the members that are
contained in the original file are erased also.
Figure 8 shows the relationship of the members and the files in the library.
Figure 8. Members and Files in a Library
When you create a member such as a source overlay or a printout format definition
(PFD definition), you need to create a library and a file (a source overlay file or a
PFD definition file) in advance to store the member.
