The following table describes the things to consider when using the LAYOUT command.

LAYOUT Command Usage Notes 
Topic Usage Notes
Command Frequency and Placement A LAYOUT command specification must be referenced by each IMPORT command in the FastExport job script. In all cases, the LAYOUT command must be presented before an IMPORT command that references it. Each LAYOUT command must be immediately followed by a series of FIELD and FILLER commands that define the composition of a logical record.
Using the same LAYOUT command in Multiple FastExport Tasks The same layoutname specification can be referenced in more than one FastExport task, provided that:
  • Each task is delimited by BEGIN EXPORT and END EXPORT commands
  • The LAYOUT command appears before any IMPORT command that references it
