How To Create LIBR Views.

Coding FTP_LIBR_MEM_TYPE (in the global config member):

Members whose types are defined in the global configuration statement FTP_LIBR_MEM_TYPE are always FTPed in binary mode.

Furthermore, RECF=STRING parameter forces reading/writing in STRING, or byte, mode, and RECF=FIXED parameter forces reading/writing fixed, 80-byte records.

For example, you should always FTP OBJ files in binary, fixed, 80-byte records. To achieve this, code:

FTP_LIBR_MEM_TYPE = OBJ,RECF=FIXED

As another example, JIF files should always be FTPed into byte (or string) members. To achieve this, code:

FTP_LIBR_MEM_TYPE = JIF,RECF=STRING

Introduction:

You can create LIBR views with varying degrees of access restrictions. There are three categories, or types of LIBR views: Shell, LIB and SUBLIB.

Shell Views: No restrictions. All libraries in your system are potentially accessible.
LIB Views: grant access to one library.
SUBLIB Views: grant access to one Sublibrary.

LIBR SUBLIB Views:

Each SUBLIB View grants access to ONE sublibrary in your system.

To create a SUBLIB View, you must code TGT_FILE statement as follows:

TGT_FILE = library.sublibrary

The following SUBLIB view, for example, grants access to PRD1.MACLIB

LIBR LIB Views:

Each LIB View grants access to ONE library in your system.

To create a LIB View, you must code TGT_FILE statement as follows:

TGT_FILE = library

The following LIBR view, for example, grants access to PRD1

XFER = BEGIN
     TYPE                 = RCV                    <<= Constant: code as shown.
     TGT_FILE         = PRD1.MACLIB
     TGT_AM           = PAM                    <<= Constant: Code as shown.
     TGT_TYPE        = DISK                   <<= constant: Code as shown
     TGT_RECFM     = F
     TGT_RECL        = 80
XFER = END

XFER = BEGIN
     TYPE                 = RCV                    <<= Constant: code as shown.
     TGT_FILE         = PRD1
     TGT_AM           = PAM                    <<= Constant: Code as shown.
     TGT_TYPE        = DISK                   <<= constant: Code as shown
     TGT_RECFM     = F
     TGT_RECL        = 80
XFER = END

LIBR Shell View:

The LIBR Shell View grants access to all libraries in your system. Therefore, access to this view should be granted only to trusted users, if at all.

To create a LIBR Shell View, you must omit TGT_FILE statement. Here is an example:

XFER = BEGIN
     TYPE                 = RCV                    <<= Constant: code as shown.
     TGT_AM           = PAM                    <<= Constant: Code as shown.
     TGT_TYPE        = DISK                   <<= constant: Code as shown
     TGT_RECFM     = F
     TGT_RECL        = 80
XFER = END

Required Statements:

The following statements must be coded in all POWER view types:

TYPE              = RCV
TGT_AM        = PAM
TGT_TYPE    = DISK
TGT_FILE      = depends on the view type.
TGT_RECFM = F
TGT_RECL    = 80
CTL_FTPC statements (optional). Please see                                        for more details.
