SENDERCFMU={YES | NO | NOBDW}

Default None
Allowable Values YES, NO, NOBDW
Minimum Not Applicable
Maximum Not Applicable

This parameter defines whether to maintain RECFM=VB BDW when sending or receiving files.

The valid values are as follows:

  • YES: When YES is specified for a send file transfer, the file is opened using RECFM=U. Each block is written as an individual record. The main use of this parameter is to retain the RECFM=VB block and record structure when sending a file to a UNIX or Windows platform.
  • NO: When NO is specified for a send file transfer, the file is not opened using RECFM=U. The default value is NO.
  • NOBDW: When NOBDW is specified for a send file transfer, the file is opened using RECFM=U. Each block is written as an individual record. This parameter is the same as YES, except that the BDW is not sent.

Note: This parameter must be used only when TYPE=BINARY is specified.
