Truncate Record

Specifies how records exceeding the maximum logical record length (LRECL) are handled.

Y

Specifies records larger than the maximum LRECL are truncated to the maximum record length.

N

Specifies that CA XCOM Data Transport is to terminate the file transfer upon receiving a record larger than the maximum LRECL.

Notes:

• The CA XCOM Data Transport mainframe products: CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS, CA XCOM Data Transport for VSE, and CA XCOM Data Transport for VM supports this field.
• When a record is truncated, the data not within the LRECL limit is lost.
• The use of truncation is not supported for Unicode transfers. This is due to the possibility of data loss or corruption should truncation occur in the middle of a multi-byte character in the file.

Default: N
