Files on the NonStop System Compatible with FTAM-2

The Guardian file type corresponding to an FTAM-2 file is an Enscribe relative file or
SQL table, Type R. Its structure is shown in Figure 3-10 on page 3-26. The record
number in a relative file corresponds to an FTAM node descriptor, and a record
corresponds to a node as defined by FTAM.
If you want to create such a file for use with NonStop FTAM, use these parameters:
•
File type must be Relative (1).
•
File code can be anything you want, avoiding codes 100 through 999, but if you
want to make the file accessible to other users through the NonStop FTAM
responder, use file code 0.
•
Record length must be equal to the maximum-string-length you want for the FTAM
file and must be between 1 and 4072.

Each record has a length attribute.
Therefore, the data portion (logical
record) can vary within the physical
record.

Each record position occupies
a fixed amount of space even
if the record contains no data.
