Jacky, Could you describe a little more what you are wanting to accomplish? Do you want to create a file from another system? Or do you want to be able to create a file by keying it in? Stuart ========================================================== If you want to create text files like you do with Notepad, then use Notepad. Your system is perfectly capable of having Notepad create your text files. Or if you must use a green-screen command, then use EDTF. Tom

Hi,
The command for creating a file is CRTPF (CReaTe Physical File) :-

CRTPF FILE(Your_library/Your_File) RCDLEN(80)

The RCDLEN parameter sets the record length for your file.

Regards,

Martin Gilbert.

anther way –
If you intend to use the QTXTSRC -

  STRSEU SRCFILE(libname/QTXTSRC) SRCMBR(THISONE)

– from command line will open a txt file that will give an option to save on exit. If needed you could create a command with 1 parm being filename that you will use.
