TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS 8.1.0

# Appendix I. Extended Attribute Support

When a transfer is initiated on a non-z/OS system and a file is to be created on z/OS, the z/OS dataset attributes are set by specifying extended attributes on the KNFUSION command line using the -e sub-parameter.

The following parameters are supported:

- RECFM={`FB` | `F` | `U` | `V` | `VB`}
- LRECL=record_length
- BLKSIZE=block_size
- VOLSER=volume
- ALCUNIT={`CYL` | `TRK` | `BLK`}
- UNIT=unit_name
- PRIMARY=primary_allocation_number
- SECONDARY=secondary_allocation_number
- DIRBLK=directory_blocks_number_to_allocate
- DATACLASS=SMS_data_class
- MGTCLASS=SMS_management_class
- STORCLASS=SMS_storage_class

## Example

    KNSNDF	-eRECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=3200,ALCUNIT=CYL,PRIMARY=3,
    SECONDARY=1

This example creates a file with a 3-cylinder primary allocation and a 1-cylinder secondary allocation with the following DCB characteristics:

- RECFM=`FB`
- LRECL=`80`
- BLKSIZE=`3200`

If you do not supply these parameters, the Platform Server uses the following default attributes to allocate the dataset:

- RECFM=`VB`
- LRECL=`20000`
- BLKSIZE=`20004`
- ALCUNIT=value from the GLOBAL SPACE parameter
- PRIMARY=value from the GLOBAL PRIMARY_SPACE parameter
- SECONDARY=value from the SECONDARY_SPACE parameter
- DIRBLK=`0` (the default is to allocate a sequential dataset and not a file)
- VOLSER=value from the GLOBAL VOLUME parameter
- UNIT=value from the GLOBAL UNIT parameter
- DATACLASS=the system default
- MGTCLASS=the system default
- STORCLASS=the system default
