NULLFLDS (Allow Transfer of Files with NULL Fields)

FTP client subcommand

Use this command to select whether or not to allow transfer of a database files that contain NULL field values on the local system, and the remote system if it is an iSeries™.

NUllflds [ 0 | 1 ]

When you enter a parameter the valid values are:

0
Do not allow transfer of database files that contain NULL fields. This is the default.
1
Allow transfer of database files that contain NULL fields.
Notes:
  1. Transfer of files that contain NULL fields requires both the client and server to have this setting enabled. The target file must exist prior to the file transfer. Also, the target file must have the same file definition as the source file.
  2. Results are not predictable if you transfer a file that contains NULL fields a server that is not an iSeries, or if the transfer type results in codepage conversion of the data.
  3. If you specify the NULLFLDS subcommand without a parameter, the client displays the current setting.
