Field Name Description
Page segment Shows the name of the page segment to be converted to a physical file
member.
Library Shows the name of the library in which the page segment resides.
Format of data Specifies how data is to be placed in the physical file member.
The possible values are:
| 1 Each record has one structured field. The remainder of the record
| is padded with binary 0s. The record length of the file using fixed
| format is the length of the longest AFPDS structured field in the
| page segment. If the record length of the existing file is less than
| the length of the longest structured field, an error message is
| displayed. If the record length of the existing file is more than the
| length of the longest structured field, padding with binary 0s occurs.
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. If the
