Input contents of definition card

a. File definition method

This parameter defines the file to be extracted from the joined file. (Mandatory)

SEQNO:

Specify the sequential number of the file to be extracted from the joined file.

Specify a value from "1" to "65535" for this parameter.

TGTFILE:

Specify the file name of the file to be extracted from the joined file. Enclose the file name within double quotation marks ("). To split all files that comprise the joined file, specify 'TGTFILE=*.'

Note

When you define a partitioned data set (PDS) for 'TGTFILE,' also define the member name.

b. Specification of the output destination

This parameter defines the DD name or the volume serial number of the output destination. (Mandatory)

DD:

Specify the DD name of the output destination. You can specify only a Sequential Organization file or a partitioned data set (PDS). In the DD statement with the specified DD name, specify an existing data set.

You cannot define an output destination if you specify a range of files to be extracted or if you specify all the files to be split.

VOL:

Specify the serial number of the volume in which HULFT is to create the output destination data set.

c. Space

This parameter defines the space capacity that HULFT uses when HULFT creates a new file in the output destination (Optional). Define this parameter in the format of 'CYL|TRK,(default value, secondary extent, number of directory blocks).'

CYL:

Specify the number of cylinders.

TRK:

Specify the number of tracks.

Space capacity is determined in the following order:

1) The value specified for the DD name of the Specification of the output destination

2) The value specified for this field

3) The value stored in the joined file

4) The default value below

If the output destination file is a Sequential Organization file:	CYL (5,3)
If the output destination file is a Partitioned Organization file:	CYL (5,3,50)

Note

• If you define both the DD name for the Specification of the output destination and the Space, an error occurs.

• When the output destination is a Sequential Organization file, the setting of the number of directory blocks is disabled.

• On HULFT for XSP, when splitting a joined file that was created with "AUTO" specified for the Obtain input file attributes, if the number of directory blocks is not specified when it is split, HULFT makes up for the difference between host types.

  A value four times the number of directory blocks stored when the joined file was created is automatically set and the file is split.

d. Format of output file

This parameter defines the format of the output destination file. (Optional)

RECFM:

Specify the record format of the output destination file.

F: Fixed

V: Var

If HULFT other than HULFT for Mainframe created the joined file, defaulting this parameter defines fixed length format. If HULFT for Mainframe created the joined file, defaulting this parameter defines the record format of the joined file.

LRECL:

Specify the record length of the output destination data set.

Specify a value from '1' to '32760' if the Record Format (RECFM) is set to 'F' (Fixed).

Specify a value from '5' to '32756' if the Record Format (RECFM) is set to 'V' (Var).

Defaulting this parameter sets the same record length as that of the joined file. However, if you split a file whose file type is 'F' (Format data) or 'M' (Multi Format data), HULFT automatically creates the split file based on the Format Information.

If the record format is in a variable length format, HULFT adds 4 to the record length.

BLKSIZE:

Specify the block size of the output destination data set.

Specify an integral multiple of the record length if the Record Format (RECFM) is 'F' (Fixed).

Specify a value that is higher than the record length plus 4 if the Record Format (RECFM) is 'V' (Var).

Defaulting this parameter defines the block size of the joined file.

Note

If you define both the DD name for the Specification of the output destination and the Format of output file, an error occurs.

e. EBCDIC Set

This parameter defines the Type-EBCDIC Code Set on the local host that HULFT uses to split the joined file. (Optional)

0:

Autoconfiguration

A:

EBCDIC Katakana

B:

EBCDIC Lowercase

C:

EBCDIC-ASCII

D:

EBCDIC-ASPEN

E:

Japan (Latin) for IBM

F:

Japan (Latin) Extended for IBM

G:

NEC Katakana

H:

Japan (Katakana) Extended for IBM

V:

User Table 1

W:

User Table 2

X:

User Table 3

Defaulting this parameter sets '0' (Autoconfiguration),

f. Shift code mode

This parameter defines the shift code mode for code conversion. (Optional)

Y:

Add shift codes.

N:

Do not add shift codes.

Defaulting this field sets 'Y' (Add).

g. Output mode

This parameter defines the output mode that HULFT uses when HULFT overwrites the output destination file. (Optional)

If a file with the same name as the file to be extracted exists in the same volume as the output destination, HULFT cannot create a new output destination file. Specify 'REP' to overwrite the existing file that has the same name.

Note

If you specify the DD name for the Specification of the output destination, HULFT overwrites the file regardless of the setting of the output mode.

h. Tab conversion processing

This parameter defines the tab conversion processing. (Optional)

1:

Convert tabs of ASCII into space codes of EBCDIC.

2:

Convert tabs of ASCII into tabs of EBCDIC.

Defaulting this parameter sets '1.'

Note

If an EBCDIC user table is registered and one of the following values is specified for EBCDIC Set, the Tab conversion processing parameter has no effect even if specified, and tabs are converted according to the registered contents in the EBCDIC user table:

• V (User Table 1)

• W (User Table 2)

• X (User Table 3)

i. Unit name

This parameter defines the unit name of the output destination file. (Optional)

Defaulting this parameter sets the Unit Name that is defined for the execution parameter (for the EXEC statement).

j. Unused area

This parameter defines whether or not to release the unused area that exists in the new output destination file that you created. (Optional)

Y:

Release the unused area.

N:

Do not release the unused area.

Defaulting this parameter sets 'Y.'

Note

• If you define both the DD name for the Specification of the output destination and the Unused area, an error occurs.

• When you output a partitioned data set (PDS), specify 'N.' If you default this parameter or if you specify 'Y,' the size of the output file may exceed the capacity.

k. Catalog

This parameter defines whether or not to catalog the output file. (Optional)

Y:

Catalog the file.

N:

Do not catalog the output file.

Defaulting this parameter sets 'N.'

If you specify 'C,' HULFT catalogs the output file the same way as when you specify 'Y.'

Note

If you define both the DD name for the Specification of the output destination and the Format of output file, an error occurs.

Points to be noted

• Joined file name or output destination file name

  • When you define a file name that spans multiple lines on a definition card, write the first part of the file name up to column 71. Enclose this part of the file name within double quotation marks (") and add a hyphen (-) at the end of the line. In the subsequent line, write the remaining part of the file name starting in column 1 and enclose this part of the file name within double quotation marks ("). Use only uppercase alphabetic characters (not lowercase alphabetic characters) to define the file name.

  • If the joined file name contains multi-byte codes, an error occurs when the file is split.

• Space

  If you define the DD name for the Specification of the output destination, you cannot define the Space.

• Format of output file

  • If you define the DD name for the Specification of the output destination, you cannot define the Format of the output file.

  • To split a file for which 'B' (Binary data) is defined for the file type when the file is joined in one of the following products, the Specification of the output destination determines whether or not you can default the Format of the output file:

    • HULFT for Windows

    • HULFT for UNIX

    • HULFT for Linux

    Specification of Output Destination	Whether Format of Output File Can be Defaulted
    DD Name	Optional
    Volume Serial	Mandatory

  • To split a file for which 'T' (Text data) or 'B' (Binary data) is defined for the file type when the file is joined in one of the following products, HULFT does not use the information stored in the joined file if you define a range for the split target files:

    • HULFT for Windows

    • HULFT for UNIX

    • HULFT for Linux

  • HULFT does not support output to records in a non-blocked format.

• EBCDIC Set

  • If you define any of the following values for the EBCDIC Set, you must specify the corresponding EBCDIC user table in advance:

    • V (User Table 1)

    • W (User Table 2)

    • X (User Table 3)

    For details on the setting of EBCDIC user tables, refer to the following:

    HULFT10 for zOS Administration Manual : EBCDIC user table settings

    In order to specify any of the above, there are conditions that must be met. Even if the conditions for specification are met, an error may occur during sending. For details, refer to the following:

    HULFT10 Code Conversion Manual : Combinations that allow EBCDIC user tables to be used

  • If the Code Set for Transfer for the joined file is set to "UTF-8" and you specify one of the following, an error occurs:

    • V (User Table 1)

    • W (User Table 2)

    • X (User Table 3)

  • If you default EBCDIC Set or you set "0" for EBCDIC Set, HULFT automatically sets "F" (Japan (Latin) Extended for IBM) for EBCDIC Set.

• Splitting files in SMS-managed environment

  HULFT does not support splitting files in an SMS-managed environment.
