Saved transfer parameter files are implemented by creating a job file under the usercode to which Builder is installed on the dictionary pack. This file contains all the WFL statements to be merged with the transfer and configure WFLs to give the same functionality as was available in Builder for MCP prior to release 3.1. The file name is (Builder usercode)<specification name>/INCLUDE/<saved parameter name> on <Builder dictionary pack>, where<specification name> is the specification name in your Host Builder database and <saved parameter name> is the name of the Saved Transfer Parameter.
Each statement should have a sequence number within the appropriate ranges denoted in the following table to indicate at which point it is to be executed. It is your responsibility to ensure that all such statements meet WFL syntax requirements and work as intended.
When applications are migrated from Builder releases prior to 3.1, the LCOPY utility detects the presence of saved transfer parameters and create the appropriate files during the Load function.
The file sequence numbers for an Include file are shown in the following table.
