FIXOFFS

Use this utility to recalculate file offsets when you move files from one platform to another. This utility determines the new offsets within the NAFILE.DAT and P OLFILE.DAT files and updates the other output files accordingly.

This utility corrects offsets in the NEWTRN.DAT file (path and file name given in INI file) and any number of recipient batches specified in Fix_Batches control group. The location of the NEWTRN.DAT file is specified in the INI files. If the Fix_Batches control group is undefined, this utility updates all of the recipient batches defined in the Print_Batches control group.

Note

You can also use this utility to fix offsets in a VSAM NAFILE and POLFILE. To indicate that the NAFILE and POLFILE are VSAM files, use the /V parameter.

Program names

Windows: FIXOFW32.EXE

Syntax

FIXOFW32 /O /INI /V /L

Parameter	Description
/O	Tells the utility to override the setting for the Outpath option in the FixOffsets control group with the path name you enter.
/INI	Tells the utility which INI file to use.
/V	Tells the utility that the NAFILE and POLFILE are VSAM files. If you omit this parameter, the utility checks for the NAFILE=DD:NAVSAM option in the VSAM control group. If the utility finds this INI option, it processes the NAFILE and POLFILE as VSAM files.
/L	Activates logging. The name you specify overrides the default log file name. If you include the option without specifying a file name, the utility uses the name specified in the INI file. If omitted from the INI file, the utility defaults to FIXOFFS.LOG. When the LOG is activated the utility lists each transaction processed, showing the fields you specified in the LogFields option in the FixOffs control group.
