Remove sequence numbers |
Some files on the host need to be stored with sequence numbers, meaning every record in the file is numbered. You may not want sequence numbers on your file once it is downloaded. To have them removed, check this box. This option only applies to host file types which contain sequence numbers. Those file types are: · ALGOL · DCALGOL · Sequential · COBOL · COBOL74 · DASDL For COBOL and COBOL74 file types, FileSWEEP deletes the first six characters of the record. For the other file types, FileSWEEP truncates the record length and removes the last eight characters. |
