Minimum Not Applicable
Maximum Not Applicable

The valid values are as follows:

  • FILE: stores the contents of the file transfer in a file (default).
  • JOB: sends the output of the file transfer directly to the system to be executed as a job. The data is sent to the target system as is; no symbol substitution is performed.
    Note: When you send a file to the Windows machine to be executed as a job, the job is executed in the \Windows\SYSTEM32\ directory. Consider this when writing your batch jobs if you want to change the directory in which the batch job is executed.
  • PRINT: sends the file that is being transferred directly to the print queue or spool on the remote side.
  • COMMAND: indicates that the transfer is a command to be executed on the remote system. When you specify TRANS_TYPE=COMMAND, you must also specify one of the following parameters: REXXEXEC, CALLJCL, CALLPROG, or SUBMIT. The APPLICATION parameter must be FUSION or it must be completely left out when the REXXEXEC, CALLJCL, CALLPROG, or SUBMIT parameter is used.
    Note: This option is not supported by DNI.
