<0:1> Must be 0.
<2> In systems that have the TMF subsystem, this file is audited; for other
systems, this bit is 0.
<3:9> Must be 0.
<10> The file label is written to disk each time the end-of-file (EOF) is advanced.
<11> Specifies index compression for key-sequenced files (see the Enscribe
Programmer’s Guide).
<12> Specifies ODDUNSTR access to unstructured files and data compression for
key-sequenced files.
<13:15> Specifies the file structure:
0 = Unstructured (default).
1 = Relative.
2 = Entry-sequenced.
3 = Key-sequenced.
