Network File Transfer
DSCOPY
specifies the maximum size record
allowed in the file. If DSCOPY must
truncate records to adhere to the
specified recordsize, it will issue a
warning. RSIZE causes files to be
copied using Interchange Format.
If you do not specify this option, then
target-file records will be the same
length as source-file records.
SDEV=
source_device Names the disc device on the source
node from which the source file should
be obtained.
If you do not specify this option, the
disc device will be given the device
class name DISC in the source system’s
device I/O configuration file.
SEQ
(sequential) Causes the target file to be organized to
allow sequential access. Records in the
source file will be sent to the target
node contiguously. SEQ causes files to
be copied using Interchange Format.
If you do not specify this option, and if
the source file is a sequential access
file, then the target file will be a
sequential access file.
SHOW Displays global specifications currently
in effect (not including specifications
specified after SHOW on the same line).
STRIP Removes padding (extra bytes used to
create records of all the same length)
from the ends of records when creating
the target file.
You can use STRIP to create variable
length records from fixed-length
records. If the source file is a fixed
ASCII file, spaces are removed. If the
source file is a fixed binary file, nulls
are removed. STRIP is invalid when
used with a source file that has
variable records. If you do not specify
this option, then any padding that
exists in the source file is copied as is to
the target file.
