The RAWDATA parameter captures only message blocks that are received
from the remote system, and thus captures only half of the communication
between the local and the remote system. If you want to capture the complete
communication between the two systems, use the TRACE command to
capture the communication and the DUMP command to format and list the
captured data. For more information, see the TRACE command and the
DUMP command in this section.
RE[CSIZE] size
specifies the size, in bytes, of the records to be written to the print file. The
allowed range for size depends on the current mode of operation.
For 2780-emulation or 3780-emulation mode, the allowed range for size is
from 1 through 146.
For block mode without blocking, or block mode with 2780 blocking, the
allowed range for size is from 1 through the specified block size.
For block mode with 3780 blocking, the allowed range for size is from 1
through the specified block size minus 1.
If you specify a record size, the received records are written to the print file as
fixed-length records. Records that are shorter than the specified length are
padded with blanks; records that are longer are truncated.
If you omit this parameter, the received records are written to the print file
exactly as received, unless the print file is an unstructured file. The records
are not padded or truncated.
If the record size specified is larger than the record size of the print file, then
the record size of the print file is used and a message is issued.
For information regarding an unstructured file, please see the subsection
“Writing to Unstructured Disk Files,” later in this section.
RETRIESE[OT] number
specifies the maximum number of times the remote station can send an EOT
with no preceding text before Exchange/RJE terminates the read operation.
The EOT can be sent either before or after the remote station has successfully
bid for the line. Valid values for this parameter are -1 and from 0 through
32767.
If you specify -1, an unlimited number of EOTs are allowed. If you specify a
value from 0 through 32767, the specified number of EOTs are allowed, after
which the read operation is terminated.
