Using an ILIB response file

To provide input to ILIB with a response file, type:

ilib @responsefile

The responsefile is the name of a file containing the same information that can be specified on the command line.

Why use a response file?

Use a response file for:

A response file extends the command line to include everything in the response file. To split input to ILIB between the command line and a response file, put part of your input on the command line and specify a response file (preceding the response file name with the at sign (@)). No space can appear between the at sign and the file name.

The response file name can be any valid Windows file name. To use special characters in the file name, such as a space or the @ symbol, the file name must be enclosed in quotes.

ILIB responds to input you place in a response file just as it does to input you enter on a command line. Any newline characters that occur between arguments are treated as spaces. This allows you to extend an ILIB command to multiple lines.

Note:
The options which specify which format command line to use (/FREEFORMAT or /NOFREEFORMAT) must be specified as the first parameter following ilib on the command line or as the first parameter in the ILIB environment variable. They cannot be specified inside the response file.
