Create/Replace/Add (C/R/A)

Informs CA XCOM Data Transport how to handle the file that is receiving the transferred data. If you enter a C for Create, CA XCOM Data Transport attempts to allocate a new file. For information about the provision of additional allocation parameters for this new file, see Allocate New Dataset Parameters Menu (XCICADSN) in this chapter. When transferring a partitioned data set, specify C only if the PDS itself is being created. If a new member is being sent to an existing PDS, specify R for Replace.

Specifying R causes CA XCOM Data Transport to replace the contents of a file with the data being transferred. If the file is indexed, the records with matching keys are replaced and those with non‑matching keys are added.

Specifying A causes CA XCOM Data Transport to add the records being transferred to the end of an existing file. For an indexed file, the keys must not match those in the file or CA XCOM Data Transport terminates the transfer with an error.

Default: C

Note: If you do not override the default value and the file already exists on the target system, the transfer terminates with an error.

Trusted (Y/N/X)

This parameter specifies whether a user requests a trusted transfer.

Y

Yes, a trusted transfer is requested and the partner's trusted file processes the local userid.

N

No, a trusted transfer is not requested and the partner's trusted file will not process the local userid.

X

XCOM, the local userid is propagated and processed on the partner as it was in prior XCOM releases to provide backwards compatibility.

Default: X
