Balajir,

If you had hit PF1 on the file-aid Screen you would have found this.

Code:

Option Code .... (OPTCD) - codes are as follows:                         
                   W - Write validity checking                           
                   C - Chained scheduling (Sequential only)             
                   T - User totalling (Sequential only)                 
                   J - 3800 table reference characters (Sequential only)
                   Z - Search direct (Sequential only)                   
                   E - Extended search (BDAM only)                       
                   F - Feedback in original form (BDAM only)             
                   A - Actual addressing (BDAM only)                     
                   R - Relative addressing (BDAM only)                   


Check this link for specifying the OPTCD parameter.(Search for OPTCD in the link)
