The Batch Interface › SYSIN01 Parameters › SYSIN01 Parameters Required by FILETYPE=FILE › VLR

VLR

Indicates whether the transfer is for extended Variable Length Record (VLR) support.

YES

Extended VLR support is requested.

NO

Extended VLR support is not requested.

Default: NO

Notes:

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