Re: Binary File Transfer Via connect direct. And since Unix uses a different file format than the mainframe, a binary transfer usually means the data winds up unusable and unreadable on the receiving system. This is the way file transfers work -- there is nothing you can change or any parameter you can set that will cause a binary transfer to include record delimiters -- period. Network Data Mover (NDM) is a legacy file transfer product developed by System Center. NDM is now owned by Sterling Commerce and has been renamed to Connect:Direct. Just a quick Overview on Connect:Direct Today's organizations need more than FTP. Every organization depends on the reliable movement of files.

I am sending a file from UNIX to MAINFRAME server via connect direct. I am able to upload the file successfully.At the destination host, when the file is received it is not readable and not in the same format as I sent from the UNIX server.
Below is the transmission job
Please let me know the DCB values needs to be updated. The file I am sending has 3 records of variable length and the maximum length of record is 1500.

Actually, that looks almost right. But if your maximum record length is 1500 characters (exclusive of the NL at the end of the line), your LRECL should be at least 1504. But don't skimp on the maximum - there's no cost or penalty to larger values (up to 32767). And NealB's correct - if this is a text file, you may need to specify a character-set translation - but I don't know how to do that in CONNECT:Direct.

C:D automatically converts ascii to EBCDIC when DATATYPE=TEXT is used. To be positive, you may want to use ':datatype=text:xlate=yes:'.
