MAP DEFINEs

You can specify a MAP DEFINE wherever FUP permits a file name. It is sometimes

easier to use a DEFINE name such as =CUSTOMERS than an actual file name such as

\SF.$ACCNTS.CURRNT.CUSTNMES.

MAP DEFINEs Example

DUP cereal,=MY_DEFINE

INFO =MY_DEFINE

TAPE DEFINEs

You can specify a TAPE DEFINE as:



out-filename (destination) in a BUILDKEYRECORDS command



in-filename (source) or out-filename (destination) in a COPY command



in-filename (source) in a LOAD command

Handling Different Types of Files

This section contains information about handling file formats, as well as guidelines for

handling OSS, SQL/MP, SQL/MX, and SMF files.

Handling File Formats

A new disk file format (Format 2) for describing large format files (big files) is available

starting with the G06.00 and D46.00 RVUs:

At the time of creation, you can specify the file format, as Table 1-1 shows.

Note. Do not use TAPE DEFINE attributes that conflict with your FUP command parameters.

For more information about how FUP input and output options work with TAPE DEFINEs, see

Appendix A, DEFINE Tables

Format 1 A file created on the G06.00 or D46.00 RVU or later that is smaller than 2 GB

minus 1 MB, or a file created on RVUs preceding G06.00 or D46.00.

Format 2 Either a large format file or a file that can contain larger partitions than a file

created on RVUs preceding G06.00 or D46.00.

A Format 2 file can exceed the 2 GB minus 1 MB size limit of a Format 1 file.

However, you can explicitly create a Format 2 file even if its maximum partition

size is less than 2 GB.
