Network File Transfer
DSCOPY
If you do not specify this option, and if
the HP 3000 source file is ASCII, then
the HP 3000 target file will be ASCII.
BIN (binary) Specifies that records contain binary
information and that ASCII null
characters (all zeros) will be used as
padding when fixed-length records are
created.
BIN transfers files using Interchange
Format. BIN can be used with the
STRIP option to remove null padding
from the ends of records.
If you do not specify this option, and if
the HP 3000 source file is binary, then
the HP 3000 target file will be binary.
CHECKPT=
checkpt spec CHECKPT (along with RESTART) is used
to recover file transfers that have
prematurely aborted due to a transient
problem such as a link failure.
checkpt spec = [checkpoint interval]
[,[restart ID file]
[,[restart record]]]
The checkpoint interval is the time in
seconds between handshake sequences
from producer to consumer and back.
This is the maximum time that will be
lost if a transfer failure occurs and a
restart becomes necessary. The default
checkpoint interval is 300 seconds
(5 minutes).
The restart ID file is the file in your local
group and account where the restart ID
will be written by NFT. The file must
have fixed-length records. If you specify
a restart ID file that does not already
exist, NFT will create it. The restart ID
is an ASCII number that uniquely
identifies the file transfer. It must be
passed back to NFT with the RESTART
keyword to initiate a restart. If you do
not specify a restart ID file, then the
restart ID will only be written to
$STDLIST and will not be written to a
file.
