Only new objects can be added to the list via this facility. Objects that are already in the list cannot be reviewed, changed or deleted via this facility. To do this use the Review/Delete Objects Already in the List facility.
To specify details of other/non-LANSA objects, key in all required details and press Enter.
...
If the object details are acceptable the screen will be re-displayed requesting that more object details are input. Accepted object details are not re-displayed and cannot be reviewed or changed via this facility. Refer to the Review/Delete Objects Already in the List facility.
Object
This must be a valid name as per AS/400 and CPF naming conventions (described in Valid Names on the IBM i in Common Input Options). Additionally, the object must currently exist in the source system.
Source Library
Must be specified as either a valid library name or as special value *LIBL.
Special value *LIBL indicates that the current job's library list should be searched to locate the object. During the actual export run, it will be the batch job's library list that is used to locate the object. If this is different from the interactive job's library list the object may not be found, or worse, the wrong object may be exported.
Object Type
Should be specified as per IBM i conventions. The exception is type *FILE which must not be used. The exact type of file must be specified. Allowable values for object type are as follows:
Type | Description | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
*CHTFMT | Chart format | *SPADCT | Spelling aid dictionary |
*CLS | Class | *SSND | Session description |
*CMD | Command | *TBL | Translation table |
*DTAARA | Data area | *PF | Physical file |
*DTAQ | Data queue | *LF | Logical file |
*EDTD | Edit description | *DSPF | Display file |
*FCT | Forms control table | *PRTF | Printer file |
*GSS | Graphics symbol set | *SRCPF | Source physical file |
*JOBD | Job description | *SAVF | Save file |
*JOBQ | Job queue | *SPLF | Spool file |
*JRN | Journal | *DKTF | Diskette file |
*JRNRCV | Journal receiver | *TAPF | Tape file |
*MSGF | Message file | *BSCF | BSC communications file |
*MSGQ | Message queue | *CRDF | Card file |
*OUTQ | Output queue | *CMNF | Communications file |
*PGM | Program | *DDMF | Distributed data mixed file |
*PRTIMG | Print image | *MXDF | Mixed device file |
*SBSD | Subsystem description |
Target Library
Specified as either a valid library name or as a special 'substitution value'.
If a 'substitution value' is used, the importer can actually nominate the actual library to be used as the target library during the import run. Substitution values are described in more detail in Define Substitution Variables Used in a List.
Special value *LIBL is not acceptable as a target library name.
Copy data as well
Enter Y in this column beside the required object. It only applies to physical files (object type *PF).
When this option is used with a non-LANSA physical file, the data in the file is exported as well. However, it is your responsibility to convert or replace data in any existing version of the file on the target system. This can usually be achieved by executing AS?400 or CPF commands before and/or after the import run on the target machine. This facility is described in Review/Delete Objects Already in the List.
When you have finished using this facility, use the Cancel function key to return to the Work with Export List Menu.
