Receive text options (CICS)

You can only receive one file at a time during CICS file transfer.

Options include:

ASCII: Use this option for text files and for files that you want to be converted from EBCDIC to ASCII. This is valid for SBCS languages, Traditional Chinese, and Korean. EBCDIC codes are converted to local 1-byte codes. For DBCS, removes shift out/shift in SO/SI characters from DBCS fields.
JISCII: This option is valid for Japanese DBCS sessions only and converts EBCDIC code to 1-byte codes and 2-byte codes to IBM Kanji. JISCII removes shift out/shift in (SO/SI) characters from DBCS fields.
CRLF: Carriage Return and Line Feed. CRLF (x'0D0A') is added at the end of each line. EOF (x'1A') is added at the end of the file. If APPEND is specified, EOF is removed from the end of an existing file and is added at the end of an appended file.
SO: This option is valid only for DBCS and only when used with the JISCII or ASCII option. It allows the conversion of SO (x'0E') and SI (x'0F') to RS (x'1E') and US (x'1F').
APPEND: The transferred file will be appended to an existing local file that has the same name, if one exists. If APPEND is not specified, the transferred file overwrites the existing local file.
NEW: The transfer stops if the file already exists. This option can be used to protect against accidentally erasing an existing file.

PROGRESS/NOPROGRESS: When sending or receiving files with Host File Transfer, a file progress indicator displays by default to track the progress of each file transfer. Host On-Demand now allows you to control whether or not to display the progress indicator with the PROGRESS/NOPROGRESS options described below.
PROGRESS: Indicates that the file progress indicator will be visible for Files being sent or received from the host.

Note: If no option is entered the Progress indicator is visible for the file transfer.
NOPROGRESS: Indicates that the progress indicator will not be visible for the file transfer.
