2: BSCTRAN Commands and Options
DC 900-1406E 45
The BSC File Transfer program displays the state changes of the file transfer with the
following statements:
spot_1_3: 10-APR-1989 10:40:09.68 Receiving TXT.RCV
spot_1_3: 10-APR-1989 10:40:09.88 Recv Complete TXT.RCV=18 Records
The RECEIVE command options are as follows:
/DTIME=h:m:s This option is the timeout specification (default time is 1
minute). This is the maximum time BSCTRAN will wait for the
data records from the ICP. If timeout occurs, BSCTRAN will
abort or return the user to the BSC prompt, depending on the
setting of the global
DEFAULT /ABORT option.
/BINARY This option specifies that BSCTRAN not search for record sep-
arators. Records are deblocked by the
/RECL size (default = 512
bytes). The
/BINARY option should be used to receive files that
were sent in either 2780 or 3780 transparent mode. This option
is not compatible with either the
/FORTRAN or /ESCAPE forms-
control option.
Caution
If the received binary records were not sent as transparent data,
message blocking should be set to off to prevent the records from
being concatenated when received by the ICP. This will preserve
the record boundaries.
/RECL=n This option specifies the file record length, where
n = number
of bytes. The default is 512 and the maximum is 4096. For vari-
able record format (which is the default format), this argument
becomes the maximum length.
RECL should be equal to (or
greater than) the maximum record size of the file being
received.
