Mainframe to AIX transfer, record length mis-match

in AppWorks #1

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

    Format is fixed and Strip Spaces is fales (not selected). I don't see any I/O Access option.

    What should I have for source CCSID?

    This transfer is invoked by mainframe JCL, All the variables are supplied in the FTF line there. How would a policy be used?
