COMPRESS

This parameter specifies whether CA XCOM Data Transport compresses the data being transferred and decompresses it on the remote system. Compressing the data decreases the transmission time on lower‑speed links.

YES

Provides Run‑Length Encoding (RLE) for blanks and binary zeros only. YES is the default.

NO

No data compression.

RLE

Provides complete Run‑Length Encoding for all characters.

COMPACT

Provides full RLE (as in RLE) plus a byte compaction scheme that is suitable for uppercase English text.

COMPACTL

Same as COMPACT, only the compaction scheme is most beneficial for lowercase English text.

LZSMALL

CA XCOM Data Transport compresses the data according to the small memory model of Lempel‑Ziv 77 compression.

LZMEDIUM

CA XCOM Data Transport compresses the data according to the medium memory model of Lempel‑Ziv 77 compression.

LZLARGE

CA XCOM Data Transport compresses the data according to the large memory model of Lempel‑Ziv 77 compression.

HUFFMAN

Greater compression than RLE but not as much as the Lempel‑Ziv 77 modes.

LZRW3

General‑purpose algorithm that runs fast and gives reasonable compression.

ZLIB(n)

Greater compression than LZRW3 but less than LZSMALL, LZMEDIUM, and LZLARGE. The n value can be 1 through 9.

Note: Specifying a value other than NO enables use of zIIP to perform the compression function. zIIP processing is used for compression only if the buffer size to compress is >= 4096 bytes. Specifying PACK=LENGTH and use a high MAXPACK value (>= 4096) for TCP/IP transfers or RUSIZE (>=4096) for SNA transfers to make efficient use of zIIP.

Default: YES

CREATEDELETE

This parameter specifies whether an existing data set is deleted and a new data set allocated at the start of a FILEOPT=CREATE transfer.

NO

If FILEOPT=CREATE and the data set exists, then the transfer fail with a catalog/file error.

YES

If FILEOPT=CREATE and the data set exists, then it is deleted and a new data set is allocated at the start of the transfer.

Default: NO
