You can change the object definition for the selected unrelated MVS file from which you want to extract data. When specifying patterns in the fields, File-AID/RDX presents selection lists.

File name

Displays the file name of the unrelated MVS file from which you want to extract data.

Record layout usage

Indicate whether a single record layout (usage "S"), or an XREF (usage "X") had been used to define the selection criteria. Only needed when no relationships have been defined for the MVS file.

Record layout file

Specify the record layout file for the MVS object from which you want to extract data. To view a list of layout files, specify a pattern. Valid pattern character is * (see Pattern Characters). If you specify a pattern, the MVS Catalog Utility File List window is displayed if defined relationships match.

Member name

Specify the member of the record layout file that contains the layout information for the MVS object. Leave blank or use a pattern to narrow the search.

XREF file name

Only needed if layout usage is X. Specify the XREF file name for the MVS object from which you want to extract data. Valid pattern character is * (see Pattern Characters). If you specify a pattern, the MVS Catalog Utility File List window is displayed if defined relationships match.

Member name

Specify the member of the XREF file that contains the layout information for the MVS object. Leave blank or use a pattern to narrow the search.

I/O Exit Name
