This parameter defines whether RECFM=VB RDW (Record Descriptor Word) will be maintained when sending or receiving files. This parameter must only be specified when the file being transferred is in RECFM=VB format. The RDW is maintained when sending data to a remote system or receiving data from a remote system. If the data being sent or received is not in the proper RDW format, the transfer fails.
