IBM Professional Series - Creating a File

space is missing or a word is misspelled, the system won't
recognize the command. Commands can be typed in capital
or lowercase letters, or a combination of the two.
When we show you the format of a command, we will print
everything that must be typed exactly as shown in capital
letters. When you have to substitute your own information,
we'll show the word in all lowercase letters.
For example, a
command format
is:
XEDIT filename filetype filemode
If a word is shown in capital letters, it must be typed exactly
as shown, although you can use capital or lowercase letters.
Because the words filename, filetype, and filemode are
shown in all lowercase letters, you would substitute your own
three-part file label in their places.
If command names can be abbreviated, we will show the
minimum abbreviation in capital letters.
For example,
Input
You could enter the command as I, IN, INP, INPU, or
INPUT. The capital letter (I) shows the minimum
abbreviation.
Creating A File
Use the XEDIT command to create a file. Its format is:
XEDIT filename filetype filemode
After you type the command, press the ENTER key.
Note: The
ENTER key on your keyboard is the long key on
the right side that has the bent arrow on it (--J ).
If you entered the command:
xedit test file al
your screen would look like this:
