A displayed list may not fit onto one screen. This is indicated by a '+' sign in the lower right of the screen. In such cases use the roll-up and roll-down keys to scroll backwards and forwards through the displayed list.

Files shown in the displayed list which are already included in the export list are shown with an 'X' or 'G' beside them. The 'X' or 'G' cannot be removed. Thus a file cannot be removed from the export list by using this facility. Use the option 'Review/delete objects already in list' to do this. This option is described in detail in a later section.

Long Names

You can show the long name for a file in the list by placing the cursor on it and pressing F22. Refer to Long Names for more details.

The Sel column

Enter 'Y' beside a file displayed in the list to include it in the export list.

...

For further information on the 'L' and 'O' selectors, refer to Add Logical Views to the list or Add I/O or OAM Modules to the list.

Alternatively you may use the Generic function key to add the generic name into the export list. Generic names are described in detail in Generic Object Names.

Note
Note: The 'Comp Form' and 'Data Also' columns are used when performing an IBM i export from LANSA. They are ignored when performing a PC export.

The 'Comp Form' column

Beside Besides a chosen file, enter a 'Y' to indicate that the file definition is to be exported in 'compiled' or 'ready to use' form. If this option is used, the file will be usable as soon as it has been imported into the target system. If this option is not used, the file definition will have to be 'made operational' on the target system after it has been imported.

...

'O' indicates that an OAM or/and I/O module has been selected.

The 'Data Also' column

Beside Besides a chosen file, enter 'Y' in this column to indicate that the data contained in the file should be exported as well. If this option is used, the data in the file will replace any data already in the file on a target machine. If this option is not used, data already in the file on a target machine will be left intact (after undergoing any necessary conversion to match the new file layout).

...

If the Include all functions and Include all fields is requested and the function is in a Web-enabled process, then web visual components for fields used in the function will also be added to the export list, provided the *NOWEBEXP flag is not set and the target system is an AS/400 (that is, from an IBM iIBM i).

The 'Export Functions' column is ignored when using the Generic function.
