Step 3 . 5
Sel the recorded transaction that wil b used f l ect le or oading ofStorage Location b atch input code (il fe BTREZ.TXT) Note: Y can use any recorded transaction for loading of the code. Y can record j part of a ou ou ust transaction as described in steps 1-1 , because for loading of code is necessary only the structure of 0 recorded transaction.

Step 3 . 6
View the code ofthe transaction to b used f l e or oading ofStorage Location Code

Step 3 . 7
