- The ASERIES intrinsic transform applied an
Extended Record Attribute (XAR) to the file.
- 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.
- The file was stored as a STREAM file, not a FRAME
STREAM file, but rather aRECORD
STREAM file.
- System Software such as Compilers can directly
open and read a RECORD STREAM
file on a CD, by label equating the input file.
- 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.
