4.4 Import AFP Data Window
Import Print data from Tape or Cartridge
This window is used to import print data from 9-track tape, 18-/36-track cartridge or QIC.
Data tapes and cartridges must be ANSI-labeled or can be NONE-labeled tapes (tape with
no labels).
The ANSI-labeled includes the common MVS (IBMDOS, IBMOS) and BS2000 label for-
mats which are ANSI-compliant. When NONE-labeled tapes are used, additional data for-
mat parameters are needed, these can be specified using the 'Import Data Structure Set-
tings' which is described below. Default setting is the ANSI-labeled tape.
Supported data formats are:
• AFPDS files (variable or fixed blocked)
• Line data (variable or fixed blocked)
• Mixed data (variable or fixed blocked)
Besides using a filename in the filename field (wildcards are also allowed), you can addi-
tionally use the File Sequence number to select the file on tape.
Examples: '1:' to select the first file, '2:' to select the second file.
You have to enter the target directory where the imported data will be saved under the orig-
inal file names proceeded by the file sequence number separated with a dot ('.').
