maxreclen

For Windows, UNIX, and Linux systems, the locally initiating CA XCOM Data Transport system determines the values for MAXRECLEN, TRUNCATION, and LRECL, for send and receive operations. When the local CA XCOM Data Transport system initiates a transfer of a text file, this parameter designates the length, in bytes, of the largest record that can be transferred. If a record length is longer than this value, CA XCOM Data Transport uses the value in the TRUNCATION parameter on the initiating side to determine whether to terminate the transfer or to truncate the record and continue the transfer. When CA XCOM Data Transport transfers binary files, this value indicates the length of the records that are transferred. On a receive operation, MAXRECLEN is set to whatever the LRECL value is on the initiating side.

Range: 1 to 32767

Default: 1024

mbcs_converror

This parameter identifies the action when the input file contains characters that cannot be converted as they are not included within the output character sets repertoire.

REPLACE

Replace each unconvertible character with the default substitution character defined for the Unicode character set.

REPLACE#nnnnnnn

Replace each unconvertible character with the Unicode character that the decimal value nnnnnnn identifies. (If the specified replacement character cannot be represented in the output character set, then the transfer is failed). This option is not supported for z/OS systems and is treated as REPLACE.

SKIP

The erroneous data is disregarded, but a warning message is issued at the end of the transfer. The message identifies that this condition occurred and provides a total count of the number of skipped characters. This option is not supported for z/OS systems and is treated as REPLACE.

FAIL

The transfer terminates with an error condition.

Default: The DEFAULT_CONVERROR parameter in the CA XCOM Data Transport Global Parameters specifies the default.

mbcs_inputerror

This parameter identifies the appropriate action when the input file contains data that is not consistent with the specified input character set.

REPLACE

Replace each piece of erroneous data with the default substitution characters defined for the Unicode character set.

REPLACE#nnnnnnn

Replace each piece of erroneous data with the Unicode character that the decimal value nnnnnnn identifies. This option is not supported for z/OS systems and is treated as REPLACE.

SKIP

The erroneous data is disregarded, but a warning message is issued at the end of the transfer. The message identifies that this condition occurred and provides a total count of the number of ignored bytes. This option is not supported for z/OS systems and is treated as REPLACE.

FAIL

The transfer terminates with an error condition.

Default: The DEFAULT_INPUTERROR parameter in the CA XCOM Data Transport Global Parameters specifies the default.
