param2 .<15>
suppresses the appending of an end-of-media (EM) character to records less than
80 bytes long in 2780-emulation mode or block mode with 2780 blocking. This
parameter does not apply to 3780-emulation mode, block mode with 3780
blocking, or block mode without blocking; no end-of-media character is used in
these cases.
This field can have the following values:
0 DROPEM OFF
If you specify DROPEM OFF, an end-of-media (EM) character is appended to
all records less than 80 bytes in length.
1 DROPEM ON
If you specify DROPEM ON, the EM character is not appended to records less
than 80 bytes in length
SETMODE Function 43
This function specifies the parameters that control a receive operation (calls to READ
or WRITEREAD). You call SETMODE function 43 to set explicitly the parameters that
control a receive operation. The following section lists the parameters you can set.
Note that param2 is not used with SETMODE function 43.
param1 .<12.13>
controls the inclusion of the EBCDIC NL character in the records returned to your
program by the line server, as follows:
00 Default
This is the default setting. The EBCDICNL mode will be determined by the
global setting specified at the time of RJESV startup. If you specify 01 or 10
you do not need to know (or be concerned about) the global setting.
01 EBCIDICNL ON
This setting will cause an NL character to be passed on as ASCII data (%H 85).
This parameter only applies to an EBCDIC data link.
10 EBCDICNL OFF
This setting will cause the NL character to function as a record separator. This
parameter only applies to an EBCDIC data link.
