This subprocedure writes the contents of a field up to 16MB in size to an IFS stream file.

## Subprocedure Prototype

### IBM i 6.1+

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `     D RXS_PutStmf...      D                 PR                  Extproc('RXS_PutStmf') Opdesc` |  |
| `     D   Input                             Like(RXS_Var16Mv_t) Const      D                                     Options(*Varsize)` | Data to write to the IFS stream file. |
| `     D   DS                                Likeds(RXS_PutStmfDS_t)` | RXS_PutStmfDS_t used to configure the write operation, such as the file path to write to. |

## Data Structures

### RXS_PutStmfDS_t

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `     D RXS_PutStmfDS_t...      D                 DS                  Qualified Template Inz` |  |
| `     D   ReturnedErrorInfo...      D                                     LikeDS(RXS_ReturnedErrorInfoDS_t) Inz` |  |
| `     D   OnErrorMessageType...      D                               10I 0` |  |
| `     D   Stmf                              LIKE(RXS_Var1Kv_t)` | Specifies an IFS path to a stream file to write to. |
| `     D   Append                        N` | Determines whether to append the data to the file (RXS_YES), or to overwrite the file (RXS_NO). **Valid Values:** `RXS_YES`, `RXS_NO` **Default Value:** `RXS_NO` |
| `     D   StmfCcsid                   10I 0` | The CCSID of the IFS stream file to be created/written to. |
| `     D   InputCcsid                  10I 0` | The CCSID of the data being passed. Note: This is typically optional as internally RXS_PutStmf() will assume the data you're passing is the same CCSID as the current job. |
| `     D   InputPointer...      D                                 *` | **Internal use only** |
| `     D   InputLength                 10I 0` | **Internal use only** |
