D[ROPEM]
suppresses the appending of an end-of-media (EM) character to records less
than 80 bytes long in 2780-emulation mode and 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 3780-emulation mode.)
If you omit this parameter, an end-of-media (EM) character is appended to all
records less than 80 bytes in length.
If you specify DROPEM, the EM character is not appended to records less than
80 bytes in length.
R[ECSIZE] size
specifies the maximum size, in bytes, of the records to be sent to the remote
system. If you omit this parameter, the default record size is 80.
For 2780- and 3780-emulation modes: The allowed range is from 1 through
144.
For block mode with 2780 blocking: The largest allowed value for RECSIZE is
the size specified by BLOCKSIZE (in the RJECIR or SET command).
For block mode with 3780 blocking: The largest allowed value for RECSIZE is
the size specified by BLOCKSIZE minus 1. (This allows room for the IRS
character that terminates each record in 3780-emulation.)
For block mode without blocking: The largest allowed value for RECSIZE is
the size specified by BLOCKSIZE.
For all modes, the size you specify need not be the same as the size of the
records in the send file. If the records in the send file are larger than the size
you specify, the records are truncated before they are transmitted and a
warning message is displayed. If the records in the send file are smaller than
the size you specify, the records are transmitted as is (no blanks are added).
Note For 2780/3780-emulation modes, and block mode with 2780/3780 blocking: If you include the
NOTRANSLATE parameter or the TRANSPARENT parameter in the SEND command, you must specify a
record size of 80 bytes (or omit this parameter and use the default record size, which is 80 bytes).
For block mode without blocking: If you include the NOTRANSLATE parameter or the TRANSPARENT
parameter in the SEND command, the largest allowed value for RECSIZE is the size specified by
BLOCKSIZE.
