ASCI I
or
NOASCI I
ASCII specifies that the file is to be translated from
ASCII to EBCDIC during the IMPORT. NOASCII
specifies that the file is not to be translated from ASCII
to EBCDIC during the IMPORT. ASCII is the default.
EOl
or
NOEOl
EOL specifies that the source file is to be scanned for
end-of-line characters (carriage return/line feed) which
will be interpreted as end-of-line delimiters in creating
the CMS file. NOEOL specifies that the source file is
not to be scanned for end-of-line characters. In this case,
the file created will be an F-format file. EOL is the
default.
Notes:
1. If the EOL option is specified, the Personal Computer
DOS file will be scanned up to the LRECL value for
end-of-line characters. If no end-of-line characters are
found before the LRECL value is reached, the error
message:
Import terminated, fi Ie 'd:fi lename.ext' truncated
is displayed, and the import is not done. The logical
record length (either the default or user specified
LRECL) must exceed the length of the largest line in the
Personal Computer DOS file.
2.
If
the NOEOL option is specified to import a file, the
CMS file will be an F-format file, with a logical record
length equal to the LRECL used to import the file
(either the default, 80, or a user specified LRECL).
If
end-of-file is detected prior to reading in this amount,
then the CMS file created will have a logical record
length equal to the amount read. Thus, if the Personal
Computer file has 38 bytes, and is imported without
specifying a LRECL value, the CMS file produced will
have 38 bytes.
If
the last read of the Personal Computer file results in
less than the LRECL amount of data, it will be padded
with X'OO' to the LRECL length, except in the case just
7-96
