If you are running jobs on Windows, Unix, or Linux you can specify the character set of the input and output as ASCII or EBCDIC. If you are defining a job that will run on z/OS or IBM i, the character set specified is ignored and EBCDIC is assumed.
Note: The job output will use the same character set as the input.
To specify the character set for job input and output, follow these steps.
-
In the VeriMove main window, double-click the job you want.
-
On the General tab, in the Character Set group, select one of the following.
- If source data is in an ASCII format, select ASCII. Select the Use CRLF option if the input file records are separated by Carriage Return Line Feeds (CRLF). In the .def file, the Use CRLF option is defined as <AppendCRLF>. For Unix and Linux customers, <AppendCRLF> is interpreted to indicate that the input only includes <LF> and only <LF> is appended.
Note: If you select both Use CRLF and Copy Input Record to Output Record, the CRLF will not be copied from the input record to the output record. However, the CRLF will be added to the end of the output record.
- If source data is in an EBCDIC format, select EBCDIC
and use binary mode when transferring files.
