Transferring Files
Transferring Files from the HP-UX Command Prompt
Specifies the timeout period. File transfer is canceled if
the host does not respond within this time. The
variable nn represents the number of 30-second
intervals, between 00 and 99, to wait; for example,
T(02) equals 1 minute. A TRANS010 message is
generated every 30 seconds until the timeout period
has expired (but see the Q option later in this list).
If T(nn) is not specified, or if T(00) is specified, the
file transfer process waits indefinitely for the host to
respond. No timeout messages are displayed.
BLKSIZE (n)
Specifies the block size of the data set (n is the block
size in bytes). If BLKSIZE n is omitted, the default is
LRECL.
LRECL \(n\)
Specifies one of the following:
• The logical record length of the host file if the value
of RECFM is (F).
• The maximum length if the value of RECFM is (V).
If LRECL(n) is not specified, the default is 80.
RECFM \(F|V|U\)
Specifies the record format of the host file:
• RECFM \(F) specifies a file containing fixed-length
records.
• RECFM \(V) specifies a file containing
variable-length records.
• RECFM \(U) specifies a data set containing records
of undefined length (this is valid only for MVS/TSO,
not for VM/CMS).
If RECFM is not specified, the default is F, unless the
CRLF option is specified, in which case the default is V.
This option is valid only when creating a new
MVS/TSO host data set; do not use it when replacing or
appending to an existing data set.
SPACE \(q, i\) unit
Specifies the space to allocate for a new data set. You
can specify the unit of space measurement as TRACKS,
CYLINDERS, or AVBLOCK \(n\) (blocks of size n
bytes). The value q indicates the amount of space
