Exchange/RJE Commands

If you specify EBCDICNL ON, the NL character is passed on as ASCII data
(%H85) and not interpreted as a record separator for the duration of the RE
command.
If you specify EBCDICNL OFF, the NL character functions as a record
separator for the duration of the RECEIVE command.
If you omit this parameter, the global mode of the line server remains in effect.
This parameter is ignored for block mode without blocking operations.
NOF[ORMS] | F[ORMS]
removes the escape codes used for vertical forms control from the incoming
records before the records are written to the print file. Typically, NOFORMS is
used when the print file is a terminal or other device that does not handle the
vertical forms-control escape sequences. If NOFORMS is used when the print
file is a printer, the listing prints single-spaced. For a definition of the vertical
forms-control escape sequences recognized by Exchange/RJE, see Table 3-7.
If you omit this parameter, or specify FORMS, the escape codes are written to
the print file (or translated to SETMODE and CONTROL procedure calls for
vertical forms control if the print file is a printer or a process such as a
spooler).
NOFORMS has no effect on records written to the punch file. Stacker-selection
escape codes are always removed from records written to the punch file.
The default for this parameter is FORMS.
RA[WDATA]
writes each block that is received from the remote system to the print file in its
entirety, including the control characters and the escape sequences as well as
the data. Only the SYN characters and the BCC (error-checking) characters are
not written.
Each block is written as one or more records. Each record is as long as the
maximum record size for the current mode of operation or the length of the
remaining data in the block, whichever is less.
You can use the File Utility Program (FUP) to examine the print file. For
example, assuming that the print file is an unstructured disk file called
TESTDAT and the current mode of operation is 2780/3780 emulation, you
could use the following FUP command to list the file on your terminal. For
more information on FUP, see the File Utility Program (FUP) Reference Manual.

The RAWDATA parameter does not affect any translation that may otherwise
take place. For example, if the data communications line is an EBCDIC data
communications line and the data was sent by the remote system as normal
text, your print file contains ASCII codes.
