The operation to be performed is chosen as a parameter to the
Batch-Process option.
- Batch-Process
- The operation to be performed on the defined files. Value must be
Convert-file,
Rebuild-index, or
Rebuild-index-and-data.
- An Input-File is defined for all operations and an Output-File is defined for
Convert-file and
Rebuild-index-and-data. The
Rebuild-index operation recreates the file index for the input data file so an Output-File description is not required.
- Strt-file
location\filename.str
- The file containing the Record Layout descriptions for the input file.
If the data file is being converted between EBCDIC and ANSI and the records contain non-text data items, a record layout description is required to define the data items requiring conversion and those to be left unconverted (for example, binary values). The record layouts are created with the Record Layout Editor and stored in files with an
.str file extension. For more information on how to create a record layout file, see the topic
To create a record layout file.
- Edit-Mode
- The edit mode if this profile is read by the Data File Editor. Value must be either
Quick or
Full.
This parameter is not used by DFCONV.
