• Add WAIT_TIME_VALUE=300
• Add export WAIT_TIME_VALUE
These two commands must be added to the file .dtprofile in the home directory. If .dtprofile
does not exist, create it and add the lines.

PAD Option
The PAD option can be used for FXmto with variable-length source datasets and for FXotm with
fixed-length target datasets. When the PAD option is specified for FXmto, FCU adds padding to each
source data record, so that the length of the each record equals the maximum record length. When
padding is specified for FXotm, FCU adds padding to each source data entity, so that the length of
each target record equals the record length defined for the target dataset. FCU transfers the data
entities with padding to the target file/dataset. FCU cannot extract padding from files or datasets.
“
FXmto Operations ” on page 26 and “ FXmto with Multiple Volume Datasets ” on page 30 describe
FXmto and FXotm operations with padding.
The type of padding added by FCU depends on whether code conversion was also requested:
• Padding with code conversion (text files). When padding and code conversion are both specified,
FCU adds spaces to the short data entities as needed.
• Padding without code conversion (binary data files). When padding is specified but code conversion
is not, FCU adds 0x00 to the short data entities as needed.
NOTE:
If you use FXmto with PAD, the data cannot be transferred back to the original mainframe dataset
(the FXotm target dataset will not be compatible with the original dataset). If you use FXotm with PAD,
the delimiter option is required.
