Files and File Equation

The following text describes how LOGGER files can be file-equated:

CARD LINE

The input card reader file or line printer file, or both, can be file-equated as remote files to run from a CANDE terminal. The CARD file does not need to exist if input cards are not supplied.

LINE

The following syntax should be used for installations with CATALOGING set to TRUE that require the LINE file to be file-equated to BACKUP TAPE:

FILE LINE(KIND=PRINTER,BACKUPKIND=TAPE,
          LABELTYPE=STANDARD) 

The LABELTYPE=STANDARD specification allows a volumed printer backup tape to be created.

LOGREPORTS

The file from which report specifications are read. No restrictions exist on file-equation.

JOBSUMMARY STATISTICS DRCDATA FILEIODATA

The titles of these files cannot be changed through file-equation because the program modifies the file titles in order to put the date in them.

YTDFILE

The year-to-date totals file. No restrictions on file-equation.
