Opening 170 Files
The 170 file type is primarily associated with IBM IMS.
What is a 170 file?
170 files mostly belong to IBM IMS. .170 files are used in IBM mainframe environments. They serve two main roles: one as an executable output from the MVS Dataset Utility in IMS Realtime systems, and the other as an IMS measurement data file used in IBM IPDS Printer Data Stream operations.
These files can contain code that runs on a mainframe or store data that helps manage system performance and printer functions.
