CL Command Reference - INZPFM
CL Command List > INZPFM Reference
Description:
The Initialize Physical File Member (INZPFM) command initializes records in a member of a physical file to the specified type of record (either default or deleted records). If the initialized member is empty, records are added and initialized to the specified type; if the member is not empty, records of the specified type are added to the member. As many records are added as is necessary to make the total record count specified.
Restrictions:
. This command is conditionally threadsafe. In multithreaded jobs, this command is not threadsafe and fails for Distributed Data Management (DDM) files of type *SNA.
Examples:
INZPFM FILE(*CURLIB/INV) TOTRCDS(12000)
This command initializes as many as 12,000 records in the first member of the physical file named INV in the jobĄ¯s current library *CURLIB. Only the number of records are added that brings the total to 12,000 records in the member. Any records that are added are initialized to the default format. If a default value is specified in the DDS (DFT keyword) for a field, that field is initialized to the specified default; otherwise, all numeric fields are initialized to zeros and all character fields are initialized to blanks.
