CODE

Used to identify the type of data being transferred.

ASCII

An ASCII file is being transferred. This indicates that the incoming file is assumed to be ASCII format, and is not translated. Therefore the file on the remote system should be in ASCII format before it is transferred.

BINARY

A binary file, such as an executable file, is being transferred. This indicates to a remote system that it is not to translate the data it is exchanging with your system.

EBCDIC

An EBCDIC file is being transferred. The transferred data is translated from EBCDIC to ASCII format when the local system receives the data, and from ASCII to EBCDIC format when the local system sends the data.

UTF8

A Unicode file which is based on the UTF8 encoding system is being transferred. When this option is set, the LOCAL_CHARSET/ REMOTE_CHARSET parameters are used to identify the character encoding of the input file and the required encoding for the output file.

UTF16

A Unicode file which is based on the UTF16 encoding system is being transferred. When this option is set, the LOCAL_CHARSET/ REMOTE_CHARSET parameters are used to identify the character encoding of the input file and the required encoding for the output file.

Default: ASCII
