parameter
is one of the following terms:
RE[CSIZE] size
specifies the maximum size, in bytes, of the records to be sent to the host. The
allowed range is from 1 through 255 unless your host subsystem is JES2, in
which case the allowed range is from 1 through 254.
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).
If you are sending multiple files, you should specify the same RECSIZE
parameter for each SEND command. If you specify different values, the
records are sent as specified but the host uses the RECSIZE specified on the
first SEND. This can result in split records; you do not receive a warning
message.
If you omit this parameter, RECSIZE is set to 80 bytes.
TRANSL[ATE] { ON | OFF }
specifies whether the data sent to the host is translated from ASCII to EBCDIC
before being transmitted. This parameter controls the translation of both
transparent data and nontransparent data.
If you specify TRANSLATE ON, the data is translated from ASCII to EBCDIC
before being transmitted to the host. Use this specification to send data to the
host that is coded in ASCII (assuming you want EBCDIC data at the remote
system).
If you specify TRANSLATE OFF, the data is not translated from ASCII to
EBCDIC before being transmitted to the host. The data is sent to the host
exactly as it is in the send file. Use this specification to send data to the remote
system that is not coded in ASCII. If you specify TRANSLATE OFF, you must
also specify COMPRESS NONE.
If you omit this parameter, the data is translated from ASCII to EBCDIC
(TRANSLATE ON).
