Mainframe to AIX transfer, record length mis-match

Stephen Parker

A transfer request is reading a mainframe file of 100 bytes per record, the last twelve of which are spaces. When it arrives on the AIX server the records are 88 bytes long.

 

Has this to do with CCSID settings?

 

Suggestions on how to resolve?

 

Thanks,

Take a look at some of the Advanced Settings, such as Format=Fixed, Strip Spaces=False and I/O Access=Traditional

 

If this doesn't work, consider using a policy file. You can specify a fixed level format using Policies:

 

Policy.xml

  
     
         100
     
  

 

dpath=xmdir://Policy.xml
