The Convert Controller  Description Local Workstation  command converts
one, generic,  or all local  workstation controller descriptions  to an
outfile.      This  provides   a  simple   method  of   processing  the
information.  The outfile  name is always CTLLWSP.   The model file  is
TAACFGWP with a format name of CTLLWSR.

A typical command would be:

            CVTCTLLWS      CTLD(*ALL) OUTLIB(QTEMP)

Only  the local  workstation controller  descriptions (type  LWS) would
be converted to the CTLLWSP outfile in QTEMP.

CVTCTLLWS Command parameters                          *CMD
----------------------------

   CTLD          The  controller   description  to  be  converted.    A
                 single description, a  generic name,  or *ALL for  all
                 local  workstation  controller   descriptions  may  be
                 entered.   Only  controller  descriptions of  type LWS
                 will be converted.

   OUTLIB        The  library  in  which  the  file  CTLLWSP  will   be
                 placed.  The  default is *LIBL.   If the  CTLLWSP file
                 does not already exist, a library must be named.

   OUTMBR        The  member  of the  CTLLWSP  file to  be  used.   The
                 default  is CTLLWSP.  If the  member does not exist it
                 is added.

   REPLACE       A *YES/*NO  value  for whether  the  member should  be
                 cleared before  writing records into it.   The default
                 is *YES.

                 *NO  may be specified  to add records  to any existing
                 data.
