Coding Rules
This section describes the format to follow when writing a CSV file.
CSV files used by the YKIMPORT command
Delimit item values with the comma. If there is no value for an item, you must specify a comma
to represent the empty item.
Item values can be enclosed in double-quotation marks. In this case, only values enclosed in
the double-quotation marks are written into the copy group definition file.
Commas specified within a character string enclosed in double-quotation marks are not handled
as delimiters.
If any item (other than Number-Of-Pairs) is shorter than the maximum length, it is padded
with leading zeros to the maximum length. For details about Number-Of-Pairs, see
“Specification Format for a Pair Information CSV File” (page 350).
A line beginning with //* is handled as comment. If you wish to have a header line, specify
it as a comment.
• Lowercase characters are treated as uppercase characters.
Spaces before and after an item are ignored.
Character encoding must be EBCDIC.
CSV files generated by the YKEXPORT command
If an item has no value, an equal number of space characters are inserted.
A header line is always inserted.
All character strings are in uppercase letters.
Specification Format for a Pair Information CSV File
Specify a pair-information CSV file in the following format:
PDEVN,PSN,PCU,PCCA,SDEVN,SSN,SCU,SCCA,CTID,SubCTID,Number-Of-Pairs
