Send text options (CICS)

Options include:

ASCII
Use this option for text files and for files that you want to be converted from ASCII to EBCDIC. This is valid for SBCS languages, Traditional Chinese, and Korean. PC 1-byte codes are converted into EBCDIC codes. For DBCS, inserts shift in/shift out (SI/SO) characters into DBCS fields.


JISCII
This option is valid for Japanese DBCS sessions only and converts 1-byte codes to EBCDIC and 2-byte codes to IBM Kanji. JISCII inserts shift in/shift out (SI/SO) characters into DBCS fields.


CRLF
Carriage Return and Line Feed. CRLF (x'0D0A') is removed from the end of each line. EOF (x'1A') is removed from the end of a file.


NOSO
This option is valid only for DBCS and only when used with the JISCII or ASCII option. NOSO prevents the conversion of SO (x'0E') and SI (x'0F') before and after the DBCS field. It also prevents the conversion of RS (x'1E') and US (x'1F') to SO (x'0E') and SI (x'0F').


APPEND
The transferred file will be appended to an existing host file that has the same name, if one exists. If APPEND is not specified, the transferred file overwrites the existing host file.


NEW
The transfer stops if the file already exists. This option can be used to protect against accidentally erasing an existing file.
