System User Data

Allows the specification of transfer‑dependent user data. This data is available to user exits in the RRDSUSER field of the RRDS data area (mapped by the RRDDSECT macro) while the transfer is pending or active. The RRDSUSER field is defined by HDRDSECT within RRDDSECT.

1 to 10 (bytes)

Specifies up to 10 bytes of data available to user exits during a file transfer.

Create Delete Option

The Create Delete Option specifies whether an existing data set is deleted and a new data set allocated at the start of a FILEOPT=CREATE transfer.

Y

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

N

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

Default: N

Notes:

• The existing dataset is lost when specifying CREATEDELETE=YES. The new data set is allocated with the attributes specified in the transfer.
• CREATEDELETE applies only if the target data set is a sequential data set or an entire PDS/PDSE. CREATEDELETE is ignored for other types of data sets (such as PDS members, PDSE members, VSAM, and USS files).
• If the data set is specified using the fully qualified GxxxxVxx name, CREATEDELETE does apply to relative GDGs.
• Your site CA XCOM Data Transport administrator must allow, through the default table (XCOMDFLT) or destination member (XCOMCNTL), the use of CREATEDELETE=YES.

Extended Variable Length Record

This parameter indicates whether the transfer is for an extended Variable Length Record (VLR) file.

YES

Indicates that the extended variable length record support is requested.

NO

Indicates that the extended variable length record support is not requested.

Default: No

Notes:

• VLR=YES is only valid when FILETYPE=FILE and CODE=BINARY.
• To use extended VLR support, both systems must have extended VLR support. If the CA XCOM Data Transport does not have extended VLR support, then you cannot get the desired results by initiating an extended VLR transfer from z/OS to Windows.
