CRTSRCPF (Create Source Physical File) command

 

The Create Source Physical File (CRTSRCPF) command can be used to create files on the iSeries™ source and target servers through the SYSTEM parameter.

Consider the following items when using the SYSTEM parameter values:

• When you specify *LCL, the file is created on the local server.

• When you specify *RMT, the file is created on the remote server. You must specify a DDM file on the FILE parameter.

• When you specify *FILETYPE, if a DDM file has been specified on the FILE parameter, a remote file is created. If a DDM file has not been specified, a local file is created.

Consider the following items when using this command with DDM:

• The FILE parameter is the name of the DDM file that represents the remote file being created. The remote file specified in the DDM file is the file that is created on the remote server (which is also specified in the DDM file).

• The OPTION and GENLVL parameters create the same results as for local processing. These parameters have no effect on the remote command sent.

• If *JOB is specified as the value of a parameter or is in the data description specification (DDS) for that file, the attribute of that source job is used for file and field attributes. The attribute of the source job is also used when the default for a file or field attribute is the job attribute.

All parameters of the CRTSRCPF command are supported with one restriction: authorization lists are not allowed for the AUT (public authority) parameter. DDM cannot guarantee the existence of the authorization list on the target server or that the same user IDs are in the list if it does exist. The public authority is changed to *EXCLUDE when you use an authorization list as a value for the AUT parameter of the CRTSRCPF command.
