Output

The default output file name for any new segment layout file is Layout.slf, and can be saved in a directory of your choice. However, if you follow these conventions, the IMS Database Editor automatically applies the appropriate segment layout file to a DBD or PSB when you open it for editing:

• Save the segment layout file in the same directory as the DBD or PSB file
• Name it using the same file prefix as the DBD or PSB file
• Use the .slf file extension
