Source file is a type of physical file, with attribute of PF-SRC, which contains additional fields for source code. It is created with the CRTSRCPF command.

Default Record length

• OPM source is 92 bytes
  • Sequence number field is 6 bytes
  • Date field is 6 bytes
  • Source statement field is 80 bytes

• ILE source is 112 bytes
  • Sequence number field is 6 bytes
  • Date field is 6 bytes
  • Source statement field is 100 bytes

Hints & Tips

• QSYS/QADBXREF, the IBM-supplied system cross reference physical file, can be filtered in a variety of ways to create a list of just source files.

• SYSTABLES, is located in library QSYS2 or SYSIBM, depending on OS/400 version, is an SQL view over the same physical file.
