VMS Help CONVERT, file, Qualifiers, /FIXED_CONTROL *Conan The Librarian |
Controls file conversions between files having variable-length
with fixed-length control field (VFC) records and files having
other record formats.
Format
/FIXED_CONTROL
/NOFIXED_CONTROL (DEFAULT)
This qualifier applies only to conversions where either the input
or the output file, but not both, uses VFC records. This option
is applicable only to sequential files.
o If you specify /FIXED_CONTROL and the input file uses VFC
records but the output file does not, the fixed-length control
field from the input record is inserted into the output record
as data.
o If you specify /FIXED_CONTROL and the output file has VFC
records but the input file does not, the leading part of the
input record is used to fill the fixed-length control part of
the output record.
o If you specify /NOFIXED_CONTROL and the input file uses VFC
records but the output file does not, the fixed-length control
field from the input record is not included as data in the
output record.
o If you specify /NOFIXED_CONTROL and the output file has
VFC records but the input file does not, the control field
attached to the output record is set to null.
