Receive binary options (CICS)

You can only receive one file at a time during CICS file transfer.

Options include:

CRLF
Carriage Return and Line Feed. CRLF (x'0D0A') is added at the end of each record. EOF (x'1A') is added at the end of the file. If APPEND is specified, EOF is removed from the end of an existing file and is added at the end of an appended file.


APPEND
The transferred file will be appended to an existing local file that has the same name, if one exists. If APPEND is not specified, the transferred file overwrites the existing host file.


NEW
The transfer stops if the file already exists. This option can be used to protect against accidentally erasing an existing file.
