PACK primary command
You can use the PACK primary command in the Edit panel, to convert non-packed data to the ISPF PACK format or to unpack data that is in the ISPF PACK format.
Syntax
- ON
- Instructs File Manager to write the output file with ISPF PACK
format when saving or exiting. ON is the default if no argument is
supplied. Note: If the data is already packed, and the Recognize and interpret packed data option is not turned on, issuing this command causes File Manager to “double-pack” the data.
- OFF
- Instructs File Manager not to use ISPF PACK format when writing the output file. If the data was in ISPF PACK format, this unpacks the data.
