dfstrcl error

I'm "following" the knowledgebase article concerning MFDBFH ... https://portal.microfocus.com/s/article/KM000015911?language=en_US

One of the tools they use is dfstrcl

However when I try and use it I get the following.

[smc-business]eric:/data/esource/V10/New_Configuration.bin>ls -l *.idy
-rw-rw-r-- 1 devuser devuser 61440 Dec 20 09:07 CUSTOMER.idy
-rw-rw-r-- 1 devuser devuser 63488 Dec 20 09:07 FILEHAND.idy
[smc-business]eric:/data/esource/V10/New_Configuration.bin>dfstrcl CUSTOMER.idy

Layout File Creation - DFSTRCL V TEST
Loading file - CUSTOMER.idy
Error: File not found or wrong type
Processing complete

I'm trying to figure out how to get the MFDBFH to work ...

Any input would be appreciated.

That demo was created for Windows but should work on Linux as well.

The file CUSTOMER.idy does not contain any information about a file layout.

You need to run the command on the other .idy file FILEHAND.idy as this is the program where the file is defined.

The article uses the command:

DFSTRCL FILEHAND.IDY

I actually had tried that ... same error.

Layout File Creation - DFSTRCL V TEST

The command from the article's PDF works fine for me on RHEL:

dfstrcl FILEHAND.idy /d CUSTOMER-RECORD /o CUSTOMER.STR
 
Layout File Creation - DFSTRCL V TEST                         
Loading file - FILEHAND.idy
Default structure created - CUSTOMER-RECORD
