The FCU program provides the commands and graphical user interface (GUI) for FX file transfer operations as well as several important options for data exchange, including EBCDIC-ASCII code conversion and data record padding and delimiters. The FAL is a library of C functions (Visual C++® for Windows NT®), which provides an application-programming interface for data exchange. The FAL functions can be called by user application programs to read and write data in z/OS datasets on the TagmaStore USP and NSC. There are two types of FAL, the 32bitFAL and the 64bitFAL. The latter is provided by the TagmaStore USP and NSC. The FMT and ALC utilities enable the all-open TagmaStore USP and NSC user to format OPEN-xlogical units (LUs) and create intermediate datasets for FXoto operations, without having to be attached to any z/OS hosts. OPEN-xis defined as a standard LU type. The TagmaStore USP and NSC subsystem currently supports OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-9, OPEN-E, OPEN-L and OPEN-V devices. Please contact your Hitachi Data Systems account team for the latest information on supported LU types.
