FXmto with Fixed-Length Record Format

Each fixed-length record in a mainframe dataset includes only the fixed-length data entity. The record
length defined for a fixed-length dataset equals the actual length of each data entity. The padding
option cannot be used for FXmto with fixed-length records.
No padding, no delimiters.
dataset. Padding cannot be added to fixed-length records. The FCU extracts and transfers the data
entities to the open-system target file. The length of each data entity in the target file equals the record
length defined for the source dataset.

source dataset. FCU extracts and transfers the data entities to the open-system target file and adds
the requested delimiter to the end of each data entity. The resulting length of each data entity in a
UNIX target file equals the original record length plus 1 byte for the delimiter. The resulting length of
each data entity in a Windows target file equals the original record length plus 2 bytes for the delimiter.
