How to copy the Japanese DBCS master sort table to a data file

 

In this section, the AS/Entry system also applies to every instance of System/36™. To copy the Japanese DBCS master sort table to a data file, follow these steps:

1. Decide what data file you want to copy it to. The file is automatically created if it does not already exist.

2. Enter the CPYIGCSRT command as follows:

   1. Choose the value OPTION(*OUT).

   2. Use the FILE parameter to specify the name of the data file to which you want to copy the master table. If you are transporting the master table to the System/36 for use there, you should specify a file name of #KAMAST, or rename the file when you get it to the System/36. Use the i5/OS^® CPYF command for copying the file onto diskette, and the System/36 TRANSFER command for copying the file from diskette to the System/36.

   3. Use the MBR parameter to specify the name of the data file member to which you want to copy the master table. If you are transporting the master table to the System/36 for use there, you should specify *FILE for the MBR parameter.

3. Press Enter. The system creates the file and member if they do not exist, and overwrites the existing member if they do exist.

4. If you now transport this file to your System/36 to replace the #KAMAST file there, you should also use the SRTXBLD procedure to update the active table to reflect the new master table.
