Input fields
The input fields are defined as follows:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Import from file | The name of the previously exported file name from which the selected records should be imported. Any valid, sequential export file may be entered here. Changing this field on this screen does not change the “Inventory IMP” entry on the Program Inventory Data sets screen. This field defaults to the “Inventory IMP” file from the Program Inventory Data sets file. |
Replace records | Whether or not duplicate members are to be replaced on the target import file. A member is considered to be a duplicate if the module, CSECT, and compile date and time are equal. Valid values are YES and NO. The default is NO. |
Module name | The desired module within the source file you are importing to the new Program Inventory file. Trailing asterisks (*) may only be used as wildcards at the end of this field, not in the middle. |
CSECT | The CSECT within the desired source module that you are importing to the new Program Inventory file. Trailing asterisks (*) may only be used as wildcards at the end of this field, not in the middle. |
Compile date | The date on which the records to be imported were compiled. The date format is CCYYMMDD (century, year, month, and day). If no compile date is entered, this field defaults to an asterisk (*). |
Compile time | The time at which the records to be imported were compiled. The time format is HHMMSS (hour, minute, and second). If no compile date is entered, this field defaults to an asterisk (*). |
