Creating Dataviews for Sequential Files › Defining Modeled Sequential Files › File Model

File Model

The process of defining the file and record layout is fully explained in the CA Datacom/DB documentation in the section on FILEMAINT MODE. In addition to file model information required by the dictionary facility, the Data Administrator should refer to the CA Datacom/DB documentation for descriptions of utilities for maintaining the dictionary definitions.

The file model for sequential dataviews must include all entities in the dictionary file model starting at the FILE entity and going down the structure.

The following graphic is a record layout as defined in the dictionary facility for a modeled sequential file.
