The Menu Interface (TSO/ISPF Panels) › Receive File From Another System Screen › Parameter Fields › Truncate Record

Truncate Record

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

Y

Specifies that records larger than the maximum LRECL are to be 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:

• This field is supported only by 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.
• 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
