“Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the beginning of this section, for more

information.

SEGMENT=

specifies the amount of data (in bytes) to be put into the variables specified.

For mapped or delimited files, the default value is 32000. For unmapped files,

the default value is 256. You can specify a value from 1 through 32000.

DATA=

text

contains the text to be written to the file. For unmapped files, the text makes up

the whole record. For mapped $NCL or delimited files, the text replaces the first

variable (or field) in the record of the file.

Note text must be enclosed in quotes if it contains any keywords.

MDO=

mdo-name

specifies the mapped data object (MDO) that you wish to use to write to the file.

The MDO can be connected to a map, which can be a user-defined map, by using

Format 1 of the ASSIGN verb.

Note For more information on user-defined maps, refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER NCL Programmer's

Guide.

HEADER

specifies whether you want NCL to attach the MDO header (consisting of the

length of the MDO and its Mapping Services key) to the beginning of the

record.

specifies that you do not want the header attached to the record.

YES

specifies that you want the header attached to the record. You need not

specify the name of the map when subsequently retrieving the record.
