The Convert Data Area command converts the attributes and the data
from one or more data areas to the outfile DTAARAV (data area value).
Both *DEC and *CHAR data areas are supported. The outfile may then
be queried for consistency or searching for specific values.
The model file is TAAARAOP with a format name of DTAARAS. You can
display the model file with DSPFMT TAAARAOP.
A typical command would be:
CVTDTAARA DTAARA(xxx) OUTLIB(QTEMP)
The named Data Area objects would be converted to the DTAARAV file in
QTEMP. There would be one record for each Data Area object.
Decimal fields in the output field DSDATA
-----------------------------------------
CRTDTAARA supports a maximum decimal field of 24 digits with 9
decimal positions. The decimal value is converted to character and
right aligned in the DSDATA field from 1 - 24. Leading zeros will
exist. No decimal notation will exist.
CVTDTAARA escape messages you can monitor for
---------------------------------------------
TAA9891 No *DTAARA object types in the library.
Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent.
Command parameters *CMD
------------------
DTAARA The qualified name of the Data Area object to be
converted. *ALL is the default. A specific name or
a generic name may also be entered.
The library value defaults to *USRLIBL. *LIBL,
*CURLIB, *ALLUSR, or *ALL may also be used.
You must have *ALLOBJ special authority to use a
library value of *ALLUSR.
OUTLIB The library in which the DTAARAV file will be
placed. The default is *LIBL. If the DTAARAV file
does not already exist, a library must be specified.
OUTMBR The member of the DTAARAV file to be used. If the
member does not exist, it is added. The default is
DTAARAV.
REPLACE A *YES/*NO value for whether the member should be
cleared before writing records into it. The default
is *YES.
*NO may be specified to add records to existing
data.
Restrictions
------------
You must have *ALLOBJ special authority to use a
library value of *ALLUSR.
