Understanding common methods	of	transferring		files	to	AIX	from	other
systems
You can transfer files from other							systems	to	AIX	using	a variety of
method results in a different						set	of possible outputs. Some methods p
that cannot be used by ACIF. Methods commonly									used to		transfer files
systems	to	AIX	and produce		output		that ACIF		can	use are:
Ÿ Physical		media	(such	as	tape)

Ÿ PC file transfer program

ŸFTP

Physical media

Normally, you can copy fixed-length files without any transformation				using
physical	media	such	as tape. For variable-length files, however,	either
of the	tape	or the	copy program must include a 2-byte binary	length

each record.

PC file transfer program

You	may	transfer	files	from other systems to	AIX	using a	PC	file tra
such	as	IND$FILE.	You	may also transfer files	from	a host	to	a perso

The variety of possible parameters that can affect printing are host-

Ÿ	For	OS/390	or	MVS	and VM/CMS	files, the default is binary.
Ÿ	For	CICS	and	VSE,	binary is	recommended.

ŸFor files with fixed-length records, binary is recommended (you must record length).
