Guidelines

Note the following guidelines for using CA XCOM Data Transport parameters:

When you type trailing spaces and tabs from the command line as part of a parameter value, they are stripped by the command line processor (the shell).
When you type trailing spaces and tabs into a file or script with an editor, such as vi, they are treated as part of a parameter value. These trailing spaces and tabs should be removed. If they are not removed they can cause confusion and unpredictable or undesirable results.
Empty lines and lines beginning with a pound sign (#) are discarded.

Examples:

In the following examples, the spacespacespace represents trailing spaces.

If you type the following at the command line, the trailing spaces are ignored:
```
xcom62 -c1 LOCAL_FILE=xyzspacespacespace
```
If you type the following into any configuration file using an editor, the spacespacespace would be treated as part of the name of the LOCAL_FILE.
```
LOCAL_FILE=xyzspacespacespace
```
