TRUNCATE

Tells CA XCOM Data Transport how to respond to records in the source file that exceed the maximum record length permitted on the target system.

YES

Truncate any excess characters.

NO

Abort the transfer. Once the problem has been resolved, the transfer must be rerun.

Note:

The CA XCOM Data Transport mainframe products support these fields: 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: NO

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

Notes:

• The values for USERPRO and USEROVR in the default table or TYPE=CONFIG control member affect this functionality. For more information, see the Administrator Guide for details.
• You can use symbolic variables with this parameter in batch SYSIN01. For more information, see the Symbolic Parameters.
