Specify File Formats using SYSOPTS

To specify the format of a file including operations to be performed on the file before sending to B2B Integrator, identify all customizing features by using SYSOPTS parameters in the COPY FROM clause. By specifying the SYSOPTS parameters appropriate for the platform from which you are sending the source file, the destination file will arrive on the B2B Integrator side the way you want it to.

For example, in the following scenario, the file, SourceFileABC, is being copied from the Connect:Direct® for UNIX node to the B2B Integrator mailbox Inbox directory for the SI_UserID. The file is to be sent as is (datatype=binary) with no character translation and will be named DestinationFileXYZ on the B2B Integrator side.
