Create a File on an IBM Mainframe

Use the following parameters at the command prompt and in configuration files when creating a file on an IBM mainframe from a local system.

These parameters are used when FILE_OPTION=CREATE. The IBM mainframe file system, unlike UNIX or Windows systems, may require that you specify a variety of attributes in order to create a file on the mainframe. Check with your IBM mainframe applications group to determine the appropriate values for these parameters.
