If the System 36 file has an IDDU (Interactive Data Definition Utility), it can be accessed like any AS/400 file.
If the file doesn’t have a description, you need to proceed as follow:
• Create an empty AS/400 file having the record description the 36 files should have.
• At the end of the 36 file name, add the extension: *FMT= Empty_AS400_File
Example:
<EASYCOM>
MAIN=LIB36/MY36F *FMT= DESCLIB/FIC36_DESC
</EASYCOM>
In the example above :
• MY36F is a file with no description.
• FIC36_DESC is an empty AS/400 file, created with the description MY36F should have
