Data Transfer Methods
The appropriate transmission attributes must be used to transfer files between two
systems to preserve the content and structure of the files. A text file contains
standard, displayable characters only. It does not include the end-of-record
characters (EBCDIC '1E' and ASCII '0D'). A binary file may contain any characters.
