without decompressing it. The option DECMPR(*NO) cannot be specified if you are using Sterling
Connect:Direct Secure Plus to perform a secured copy function.
TYPE(FILE
|MBR|SPLF) specifies the type of data to be sent. You must define the type of data to be
copied as one of the following:
FILE
specifies that the file being copied is a physical database file.
MBR specifies that the object being copied is a member of a physical database file.
SPLF specifies that the data is to be copied to an i5/OS spooled output file.
For each TYPE, you can specify certain parameters as follows.
The following parameters are valid for TYPE(FILE) and TYPE(MBR) files:
RCDLEN(record-length) specifies the data length for each record in the file.
FILETYPE(*SRC|*DATA) establishes the type of file to be created. Use this parameter
whenever a file is created.
TEXT(‘text description’) sets a text description to be associated with this member (and file, if
created). This description cannot exceed 50 characters and must be enclosed in single quotes.
EXPDATE(expiration-date) specifies the date after which the new or replaced member is no
longer valid. If EXPDATE is not specified, then the file does not have an expiration date.
MAXMBRS(number|*NOMAX) specifies the maximum number of members a physical file
can contain.
SIZE(#-of-recs, incr-value #-of-incrs|*NOMAX) is used when a new file is created for the file
received.
AUT(*CHANGE|*ALL|*USE|*EXCLUDE) specifies the authority to give to a user who does
not have specific authority to the file or member, is not on the authorization list, and whose user
group does not have specific authority to the file or member.
The following parameters are valid for TYPE(SPLF) files:
DEV(*JOB|*SYSVAL|device-name) specifies the name of the printer device description.
DEVTYPE(*IPDS|*SCS|*USERASCII) sets the type of data stream created for a printer file
from the data received.
PAGESIZE(page-length page-width) specifies the length and width of the page used by the
printer. (This parameter overrides the FORMTYPE parameter.)
LPI(3|4|6|7.5|8|9) sets the line space setting (lines per inch) on the printer.
CPI(5|10|12|13.3|15|16.7|18|20) specifies the printer character density, in characters per inch, for
the printer.
OVRFLW(overflow-line-number) specifies the line number on the page at which overflow to a
new page begins.
FOLD(*NO|*YES) specifies whether entire records are printed when the record length exceeds
the form width.
RPLUNPRT(*YES ‘replacement-character’|*NO) specifies whether unprintable characters
are replaced with printable characters when printed. Also specifies the replacement character.
ALIGN(*NO|*YES) specifies whether the page must be aligned in the printer before printing is
started.
Note: Ensure that the destination file contains no members before you send a file with
DECMPR(*NO) specified.
