Transfer errors in file attributes while making ASCII transfers

Problem

Transfer errors in file attributes while making ASCII transfers


Resolution

Execute Transfers in Binary Mode .
Or
Define a value greater than 512 ( e.g. 1024 ) for parameterFLRECL  in CFTSEND / CFTRECV for ASCII mode transfers.



If a line in the transferred file is more than FLRECL  characters then these transfers will fail in ascii mode These type of errors are associated with characters / file stream being accessed in ASCII or text mode and the limitation of size defined for the buffer ( FLRECL )
