[Deskin, Bob]

On platforms other than MPE/iX, there are two files created when you create a subfile. One is the dictionary portion (.sfd) and the other is the data portion (.sf). Both are flat files. If all you need is the data, you can create a subfile as NODICT. It will have the same structure as the regular subfile, but no dictionary file (.sfd) is produced. If you already have a subfile, simply rename it. The internal structure is the same.

how should one copy a subfile (.sf) to a flat file (.dat extension) and
still maintain the structure of the file. In case the file has to be
used further in suprtool component, how should the .sf file be copied on
to a .dat file , so that structure is also carried with it.
