  1. The ASERIES intrinsic transform applied an Extended Record Attribute (XAR) to the file.
  2. The file was written in the INTMODE of the source file, in this case EBCDIC, and the FILEKIND and MAXRECSIZE attributes were stored in the XAR.
  3. The file was stored as a STREAM file, not a FRAME STREAM file, but rather aRECORD STREAM file.
  4. System Software such as Compilers can directly open and read a RECORD STREAM file on a CD, by label equating the input file.
  5. This transform would only be used to create a Data CD which was to be used to store native A-Series files. The files on the CD can be accessed by opening a file with KIND = CD.
