• Always include the parameter <PARAM_2> as part of the physical file name definition
• <PARAM_2> represents a character between O and 9 or between A and Z
• Parameter <PARAM_2> is incremented within an archiving run
• So if you use the runtime variable "<PARAM_2>", you can create up to 36 different file names
• The recommended physical file definition is: <PARAM_1>_<DATE>_<TIME>_<PARAM_2>.ARCHIVE
