Standard and nonstandard conversion

There are three ways a single resource, for example a file, can be converted.

CICS-only conversion
Use CICS-only conversion when the resource contains no data fields that require nonstandard conversion; all can be converted by standard means.
User/CICS conversion
Use user/CICS conversion when the resource contains some fields that can be converted by standard means, and some that require nonstandard conversion.
User-only conversion
The resource contains no fields that can be converted by standard means; all require nonstandard conversion. There are two methods of enabling user-only conversion.
