Verify File Attributes

Edit online

If a problem occurs during a file transfer, verifying the accuracy of the file attributes can often resolve the problem. Review the following file attribute parameters for the file being transmitted when the error occurred. Check both the input and output files specified in your IBM® Connect:Direct® Processes:

  • Logical record length (LRECL)
  • Block size (BLKSIZE)
  • Record format (RECFM)
  • File organization (DSORG)
  • File disposition (DISP)
  • Unit containing the file (UNIT)
  • Volume serial number (VOLSER)
  • Storage for allocating new files (SPACE)
  • Optional processing code (OPTCD)
  • Length of keys used in file (KEYLEN)
  • Number of blocks or tracks to search for available space (LIMCT)
  • SMS options and ACS rules

These parameters are described in detail at the Connect:Direct Process Language help.
