Parameters › List of Parameters › FILEDATA

FILEDATA

Indicates how a remote USS file is to be allocated.

B

Binary

T

Text

If you do not specify a value for FILEDATA, then the allocation is determined based on the CODE= specification, as determined by the value of the EBCDIC/Binary/ASCII/VLR(E/B/A/V) field, as follows:

• If EBCDIC/Binary/ASCII/VLR(E/B/A/V)=B, then the file is allocated and processed as binary data.
• If EBCDIC/Binary/ASCII/VLR(E/B/A/V)=E, the type of allocation and processing depends on the value of FILEDATA, as follows:
  • If you do not specify FILEDATA=B, then the file is allocated as a text file and processed as an EBCDIC text file.
  • If you do specify FILEDATA=B, then the file is allocated as a binary file, but processed as an EBCDIC file.

Important! If you do specify FILEDATA=B, then you need to specify a value for USSLRECL, to tell CA XCOM Data Transport how many bytes there are in each logical record.

FIPS_MODE

This parameter specifies the mode to enable or disable the FIPS-compliant cipher and digest algorithms to be used for SSL transfers or for encryption at rest.

YES

Indicates that encryption/decryption will be running in FIPS mode.

NO

Indicates that encryption/decryption will not be running in FIPS mode.

Default: NO
