The Convert  Line Description Ethernet  command converts  one, generic,
or  all Ethernet  line descriptions  to an  outfile.   This  provides a
simple  method  of processing  the information.    The outfile  name is
always LINETHP.   The  model file  is TAACFGPP  with a  format name  of
LINETHR.

A typical command would be:

            CVTLINETH      LIND(*ALL) OUTLIB(QTEMP)

Only the  Ethernet Line descriptions  (type ETH) would be  converted to
the LINETHP outfile in QTEMP.

CVTLINETH escape messages you can monitor for
---------------------------------------------

      TAA9893    No ETH line descriptions exist

Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent.

CVTLINETH Command parameters                          *CMD
----------------------------

   LIND          The  line  description  to  be  converted.    A single
                 description,  a  generic   name,  or   *ALL  for   all
                 Ethernet  line  descriptions  may be  entered.    Only
                 line descriptions of type ETH will be converted.

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

   OUTMBR        The  member of  the  LINETHP file  to  be used.    The
                 default is  LINETHP.  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.
