The default output file name for any new record layout file is 
               		
Layout.str, and can be saved in a directory of your choice. However, if you follow these conventions, the Data File Editor automatically applies the appropriate record layout file to a data file
               when you open it for editing: 
               		
               	 
               
 
                  
                  		
                  - Save the record layout file in the same directory as the data file 
                     		
                  
- Name it using the same file prefix as the data file 
                     		
                  
- Use the 
                     		  .str file extension
