Running the ACIF job

Run the ACIF job, by using one of these methods:

• Use a parameter file that contains the parameters and values that are needed for the application (see Example of an AIX Parameter File). To use a parameter file, enter the acif command, the PARMDD parameter, and the parameter file name. For example, to use a parameter file that is named PARMFILE, specify this command on the command line:

  acif parmdd=PARMFILE

• Enter the acif command, parameters, and values on the command line or in a shell script. For the telephone bill example, enter:

  acif cc=yes cctype=z chars=42B2 cpgid=850... 

  (continue entering all of the remaining parameters and values).

  See Examples of using ACIF processing parameters for examples of running ACIF from the command line. For information about creating and running shell scripts, see InfoPrint Manager: Reference, S550-1052.

ACIF processes the parameters that you specified in the parameter file, on the command line, or in the shell script and creates output files. Output files ACIF creates shows the output files that ACIF creates for AIX and Windows. The Windows operating system is referred to as WIN in the table.
