CICS Send Parameters

Send parameters are optional and are passed as parameters to the host IND$FILE program. The following parameters are valid for the CICS send file transfer operation:

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.
