Note: These configuration options take effect only when File Type is set to Custom and Host OS is set to CICS in the General tab.
Send Options
The following options can be configured when defining a CICS file transfer scheme. These parameters will then be used when sending files from the PC to the host.
ASCII
If the PC file consists of character data only, specify ASCII. This will cause the translation of all graphic and control characters from ASCII to EBCDIC during the transfer so that it is usable on the host computer.
BINARY
If the PC file consists of binary data, specify BINARY.
CRLF
Following the convention for ASCII text files, <CR> <LF> pairs are used to terminate records in the PC file, and a CTRL-Z (x'1A') marks the end of file. CRLF is a default option.
NOCRLF
Do not use <CR> <LF> pairs to terminate records in the CICS file.
Other Options
This text field provides the ability to add custom file transfer parameters. For information on how parameters can be added here refer to the CICS Send Parameters in the Technical Reference section.
