File to receive output (OUTFILE)
Specifies the qualified name of the database file to which the information about the tape volumes is directed. If the file does not exist, this command creates a database file in the specified library. If a new file is created, the system uses QATACOF in QSYS as a model with the format name of QTACOUTF. This parameter is valid only when OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) is specified.
Qualifier 1: File to receive output
- name
- Specify the name of the database file to be used.
Qualifier 2: Library
- *LIBL
- All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched until the first match is found.
- *CURLIB
- The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.
- name
- Specify the name of the library to be searched.

Output member options (OUTMBR)
Specifies the name of the database file member to which the output is directed when OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) is specified.
Element 1: Member to receive output

- The first member in the file receives the output. If OUTMBR(*FIRST) is specified and the member does not exist, the system creates a member with the name of the file specified on the OUTFILE parameter.
- name
- Specify the name of the file member that is to receive the output. If a member name is specified and the member does not exist, the system creates it.
