Changing source file attributes

 

There are various methods for changing source file attributes.

If you are using the source entry utility (SEU) to maintain database source files, see the ADTS for AS/400®: Source Entry Utility manual on the V5R1 Supplemental Manuals

Link outside information center Web site for information about how to change database source files. If you are not using SEU to maintain database source files, totally replace the existing member.

If your source file is on a diskette, you can copy it to a database file, change it using SEU, and copy it back to a diskette. If you do not use SEU, delete the old source file and create a new source file.

If you change a source file, the object previously created from the source file does not match the current source. The old object must be deleted and then created again using the changed source file. For example, if you change the source file FRSOURCE created in the Creating an object using a source file, delete the file DSTREF that was created from the original source file, and create it again using the new source file so that DSTREF matches the changed FRSOURCE source file.
