Non-IXF Disk Input to
Enscribe
In Figure 2-1, Option 1 is specifies a conversion to Enscribe. Alternatively you could
have left it blank as Enscribe is the default. This example shows three input files.

For the first input file to be converted, each of the four associated files have names
ending with suffix 01; that is RDE01, DD01, X01 and CNVRT01. For the second input
file the suffix is 02, yielding names RDE02, DD02, X02 and CNVRT02.
The above example shows three input files, each with an associated set of four files.
The files are named as follows:
Source Record Descriptions Files
The prefix of RDE plus a suffix yields a full name for an actual file name; a DEFINE is
not used. In this example, the files are named RDE01, RDE02 and RDE03. These files
all reside on the same subvolume. These files can reside on any subvolume if a
qualified subvolume prefix is specified, for example. subvol.RDE. The default is
normally the Conversion Project Subvolume.
DDL Record Description Files
The prefix of DD plus a suffix yields a full name for an actual file name; a DEFINE is
not used. In this example, the 3 files are named DD01, DD02 and DD03. These files all
reside on the same subvolume.
