System name
This item is always required. When the router program is active, this item specifies the default system name.
Library/File (Member)
This item is always required. It specifies the name of the iSeries, eServer™ i5, or System i5® physical file that will receive the data to be transferred from the workstation. You can specify either an existing file name or new file name.
Specify this item using the following format. (Items inside brackets [ ] can be omitted.)
[library-name/]file-name[(member-name[,record-format-name])]
library-name
This is the name of theiSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 library containing the iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 file to which data is to be transferred. If no library is specified, *LIBL is used. To create a new file to receive transferred data, specify the library name.

When the input field is null and Browse is selected, the iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 displays a list of all libraries defined in *USRLIBL of the iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 job library list. You can modify this list by changing the job description. Run a change job description (CHGJOBD) command on the iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5.

file-name
This is the name of an iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 physical database file. When data is transferred to an existing file, the data in that file is replaced with the transferred data. To create a new file to receive transferred data, specify a new file name of 1 to 10 characters.
To list the available files, do one of the following things:
  • To list all files within all libraries defined in *USRLIBL of the iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 job library list, specify *USRLIBL followed by a slash (/), then select Browse. If a slash (/) is not specified after the library name, the iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 displays a list of library names rather than the file names.
  • To list the names of the files in a certain library, specify the library name followed by a slash (/), then select Browse. You can also specify a part of a file name followed by an asterisk (*), then select Browse. The iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 lists all the files whose names begin with the specified character string.
member-name
This is the name of a member in the specified iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 file to which data is to be transferred. If this member name is not specified, data is transferred to the first member, *FIRST, in the iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 file.

To transfer data to an existing file, specify the member name. The data within that file member is replaced with the transferred data.

To create a new member in an existing file or in a new file, specify a new member name of 1 to 10 characters.

By selecting Browse with a file name specified, the names of the members in that file are listed. When a left parenthesis, part of a member name, an asterisk (*), and a right parenthesis are specified, in this order, and then Browse is selected, the iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 can list all member names beginning with the specified character string.

record-format-name
This is the name of the record format in the specified iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 file. The record format name need not be specified except when a physical file contains more than one record format. Most physical files have only one record format. Before specifying a record format name, a member name or *FIRST must be specified as the member name.

When you transfer data to an existing file without specifying a record format name, it is assumed that the file has only one record format (*ONLY). Therefore, that record format is used.

When a new file is created with no record format name, QDFTFMT is used as the record format name.

Note: A library name, file name, member name, and record format name can be specified using up to 10 characters each. Each name must begin with one of the following characters: A to Z, ¥, #, or @. For characters subsequent to the first, the numbers 0 to 9, underscores, and periods can also be used.
