AS/400 operating system file specifications

For the AS/400® operating system, data is stored in files.

Specify AS/400 files in the following format:


>>-library--⁄--file--.--member---------------------------------><

library: A library name. Libraries contain the names of programs, files, and commands.
file.member: The file name.

In the AS/400 operating system, files can have one or more members. Each file can consist of data records, source programs, or database definitions.

The FTP subcommand PUT is used to copy a local file member into a file at the remote host. See the following example:

PUT PDS.DATA(MBR1)  LIB1/FILEA.MBR1

In this example, the PUT subcommand copies member MBR1 from the partitioned data set PDS.DATA on the local host to member MBR1 of file FILEA in the library LIB1 on the remote host. If the member already exists at the remote host, it is overwritten.
