Types of Files Supported

Stratus supports the following file types for remotely initiated transfers:

Fixed
This type of file contains records of the same size. Each record is stored in a disk or tape region holding a number of bytes that is the same for all the records in the file.
Sequential
This type of file contains records of varying sizes in a disk or tape region holding approximately the same number of bytes as the record (for example, the record storage regions vary from record to record). Records can only be accessed on a record-by-record basis.
