Field Name Description
Overlay Shows the name of the overlay to be converted to a physical file
member.
Library Shows the name of the library in which the overlay resides.
Format of data Specifies how data is to be placed in the physical file member.
The possible values are:
1 One record has one structured field. The padding character is
binary 0s. The record length of the file using fixed format is the
longest length of the AFPDS structured fields in the overlay. If the
length of the existing file is smaller than the length of the longest
structured field, an error message is displayed. If the length of the
existing file is larger than the longest length of the structured field,
padding characters are added to the end of the records. This
format is for the VM or the MVS system.
2 The structured fields are filled continuously and folded. Only the
last record has padding characters; the padding characters are
binary 0s. Any record length of the existing file is allowed. The
created record length of the file is 256 bytes. This format is for the
OS/2*.
