Changing File Building Parameters
Changing File Building Parameters
When transferring files from your system to MPE/iX, you can use file
building parameters following the PUT command string:
ftp> PUT localfile remotefile, buildparms
The supported build parameters are:
;REC=[-recsizebytes] [,blkfactor[,[{F}][,{BINARY}]]]]
{V} {ASCII
{B}
[;DEV=device]
[;CODE=filecode]
[;DISC=[numrec] [, [numextents] [, [initialloc]]]
The parameter REC= can also be specified in words (two bytes per
word) using a positive integer value. The default blkfactor size is one.
For more information about the build command, see the MPE/iX
Commands Reference Manual.
The default MPE/iX file-transfer specifications for the PUT command in
the form of file-building parameters are:
ASCII:REC=80,,F,ASCII,DISC=204800
Binary:REC=-252,,v,BINARY;DISC=204800
Bytestream:REC=,,B;DISC=16384000
Examples
The following example shows how to transfer a file to MPE/iX with a
record size of 150 bytes:
ftp> PUT filex files2;REC=-150,,V,ASCII
In the following example, using only CODE=PROG defaults to a file of
fixed binary, with records of 128 words (which are the BUILD command
REC= defaults).
ftp> PUT filex file2;CODE=PROG
