This parameter defines whether files within subdirectories are processed. This parameter is used only when directory transfers are performed, and is ignored for non-directory transfer requests.

When a directory structure is defined, this parameter refers to the subdirectories within the directory structure. When z/OS data sets are defined, this parameter defines whether VSAM files or members of a PDS are transferred. For more information of this parameter, see Appendix M. Directory Transfers.

The valid values are as follows:
  • YES: sequential and PDS files are selected to be transferred.
  • NO: subdirectories are not selected to be transferred.
  • ALL: sequential files, PDS files, and VSAM files are selected to be transferred.
  • SEQAVSAM: sequential files and VSAM files are selected to be transferred.
