COMPNEG

Specifies whether compression negotiation is performed.

YES

Specifies that the data compression method is negotiated.

NO

Specifies that the data compression method is not negotiated.

Default: YES

Notes:

• If COMPNEG=YES and the compression method suggested by the initiator or partner LU is known to both participants, that method is used to compress the transfer data.
• If the suggested compression method is not known to a participant involved in the transfer, Run Length Encoding of blanks and zeros is applied to the data to be transferred.
• If an unknown compression type is requested, the file transfer is rejected.
