Specifying file name and member name (FILE and MBR) parameters when creating database files

You name a file with the FILE parameter in the create command. You also name the library in which the file will reside. When you create a physical or logical file, the system normally creates a member with the same name as the file. You can, however, specify a member name with the MBR parameter in the create commands. You can also choose not to create any members by specifying MBR(*NONE) in the create command.
Note:The system does not automatically create a member for a source physical file.
