6.1 Defining AS/400 Information

Before you can create a new component, you must indicate which file on the AS/400 to use and on which AS/400 or server the file resides. Since we have already defined the server location in a previous exercise there is no need to specify the server again.

Follow these steps:

  1. Display the Define AS/400 Information window by choosing Server > Define AS/400 Information from the menu bar.
  2. Click on the Files tab and click Add to add the file CUSTOML1.
  3. Click OK to save your changes.
  4. The File alias value is the name for the file in your program. In this case CUSTOML1. The Remote file value is the qualified name of the file on AS/400. For this example, the remote file name is ADTSLAB/CUSTOML1. The Server alias name is the alias name of the server that was defined under the Servers.

  5. Click OK to save and close the Define AS/400 Information window.
  6. Click on to indicate that you've done all the steps.
