<h3>Transmit in transparent mode (TRNSPY)</h3>
<p>Specifies whether data is sent in transparent text mode. Transparent text mode allows all 256 extended binary-coded decimal interchange code (EBCDIC) character codes to be sent. Use this function to send packed or binary data fields. This parameter applies only to BSCEL communications.

<dd>Text transparency is used, which permits the transmission of all 256 EBCDIC character codes. *YES is valid only when *NONE, *NOSEP, or *USER is specified for the <b>Blocking type (BLOCK)</b> parameter.
<p>
<b>Note: </b>Transparency of received data is determined by the data stream; therefore, this parameter is not relevant for received data. If TRNSPY(*YES) is specified with BLOCK(*USER), the BSCEL communications type ignores the transparency indicator during write operations. Correct controls must be given with the data to get transparent transmission of data. For example, the data-link escape (DLE) and start-of-text (STX) character control characters must first be specified; the system gives the remaining control characters for transparent sending of data.
