NAMEFMT (Select File Naming Format)

 

The NAMEFMT i5/OS® FTP client subcommand selects which file name format to use on the local system and the remote system.

 

FTP client subcommand

NAmefmt [ 0 | 1 ]

0

A name format only for library file system database files. The general format is: 
[libname/]filename[.mbrname]

1

A name format for all file systems that FTP supports, including the library file system. You must set the name format to 1 to work with all i5/OS file systems.

Library file system files in this name format are: 

[/QSYS.LIB/][libname.LIB/]filename.FILE[/mbrname.MBR]

For save files, you can also use the format: 

/QSYS.LIB/libname.LIB/filename.SAVF

Files in the document library services file system are in this format: 

[/QDLS/][{foldername[.ext]/}]filename[.ext]

For optical, the format is: 

/QOPT/volname/dirname/filename.ext
Notes:

  1. You can set the name format to 0 only when the working directory is a database library.

  2. If you specify the NAMEFMT subcommand without a parameter, the client displays the current name format.
