This parameter defines the default CRLF option. This parameter is only used for Initiator requests when you do not enter the CRLF parameter.

The valid values of this parameter are as follows:

  • YES or CRLF: indicates that records are delimited by Carriage Return/Line Feed (typically PC based systems).
  • LF: indicates that records are delimited by Line Feeds (typically UNIX based systems).
  • USS: indicates sending a z/OS DSN to a z/OS USS file and terminating the USS file records with an ASCII LF (0x0A).
  • NO: indicates that the file contains no record delimiters.
