Adding Extra Information to Assimilated Files

A file created through assimilation may not contain as much information as one of your normally modeled files. You may have to add extra information to each of the assimilated files. For example, because the YRTVPFMDL command does not identify the key fields of a file that it assimilates, you may have to identify the key fields of that file to CA 2E by changing some of its relations from Has to Known by. Be aware that if the relations are not sequenced, the Known by relations are placed before the Has relations. This changes the file format, making it different than the existing physical file. To keep the same field sequence, you must resequence the physical file format entries as detailed in the next topic.
