Sending a File | 31 |
ECWINSIZE specifies the extended compression window size, which is specifically for the history buffer that is filled from the user’s input buffer (both compressing and decompressing). The window specifies the amount of storage designated to maintain data previously read.
This data can be scanned for string matches. The extended compression window size affects how much virtual memory the extended compression routines use. Higher window size values use more memory but achieve greater compression. The valid values for this subparameter are
ECMLEVEL specifies the extended compression memory level parameter, which determines how much memory should be allocated for other internal data structures like the hash table and the previous table (pointers to previous strings starting with the same 3 characters). The extended memory level affects how much memory the extended compression routines use. Higher memory levels use more virtual memory but achieve greater compression. The valid values for this subparameter are
EXCLUDE (genericmember-name(start-range/stop-range)‘list’)
specifies criteria that identifies the file members that are not to be copied. EXCLUDE allows you to make exceptions to members specified generically or by range in the SELECT option.
generic specifies a generic member name. For example, if you specify CD*, all member names beginning with CD are excluded.
‘list’ specifies any combination of the subparameters.FDISP(current, normal end, abnormal end) specifies the status of the sending file and what is to be done with the file after notification of successful or unsuccessful transmission.
current specifies the status of the file. Valid values for this subparameter are:
SHR specifies that the member is read simultaneously by another operation. The default is SHR. OLD specifies that the operation is to be given exclusive control of the file.
normal end specifies the disposition of the file following a normal operation termination, resulting in a zero completion code. Valid dispositions are:
KEEP specifies that the system is to keep the member after the operation ends. DELETE specifies that the system is to delete the member after the operation ends.
abnormal end specifies the disposition of the file after an abnormal operation termination, resulting in a nonzero completion code. Valid source file dispositions are:
KEEP specifies that the system is to keep the member after the operation terminates abnormally.
DELETE specifies the system is to delete the member after the operation terminates abnormally.
Note: Currently, normal end disposition and abnormal end disposition are not applicable for Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS.
NOTIFY(userid)
specifies the user ID on the sending node to receive status messages that are directed to the user’s message queue.
