Specifying the file name and member name (FILE and MBR) parameters

 

The FILE and MBR parameters specify the names of a database file and a file member. You name a file with the FILE parameter on a create command. You also name the library where the file is stored. When you create a physical or logical file, the system normally creates a member with the same name as the file. You can, however, specify a member name with the MBR parameter on a create command. You can also choose not to create any members by specifying MBR(*NONE).

The system does not automatically create a member for a source physical file.
