TYPE={TEXT | BINARY | DATA|ASCII}

This parameter defines the data type which indicates whether data conversion is performed for the transfer. The default value is BINARY.

The valid values are as follows:

• TEXT: EBCDIC to ASCII data conversion is performed.
• BINARY: No data conversion is performed.
• DATA: Used only with the KNFUSION protocol. This is the equivalent of TEXT with the FUSION protocol.
• ASCII: ASCII is the same as TEXT. EBCDIC to ASCII data conversion is performed.
