Transferring Files
Transferring Files Using the Menu Interface
The Default option is equivalent to Variable if the
Strip/Add LF from each line parameter is selected,
and to Fixed if it is not selected. Choose Default
unless you are sending data to an application that
requires a specific record format.
Host record length
If you specified Host record format as Fixed, specify
the length (in bytes) of the records to be created. If you
specified Host record format as Variable, specify
the maximum length (in bytes) of the records to be
created. In both cases, the default is 80 bytes.
Host block size
A TSO host groups records into blocks; the default
block size is the same as the record length (one record
per block). If you need to block records into larger
groups, specify the block size you want to use.
Send SO
Check this box to add shift out / shift in (SO/SI)
characters to any HP-UX text file sent to the host, or
leave it unchecked to transfer the file without adding
these characters. If the file was previously received
without using the Receive NOSO parameter, so that
SO/SI characters were converted to right- and
left-arrow symbols, this parameter converts the right-
and left-arrow symbols back to SO/SI characters.
This parameter is used only for files containing
double-byte characters, and only when sending to the
host with the EBCDIC to ASCII conversion
parameter selected. It is ignored if the selected host
language is a single-byte language, if EBCDIC to
ASCII conversion is not selected, or when receiving a
file from the host.
Receive NOSO
Check this box to remove shift out / shift in (SO/SI)
characters from any HP-UX text file received from the
host. If you leave it unchecked, any SO and SI
characters in the file will be converted to right-arrow
and left-arrow symbols (0x2D3E and 0x3C2D)
respectively. If you then need to send the file back to
