Transferring Data to No-Conversion Files

When you transfer data from the iSeries, eServer™ i5, or System i5® to a no-conversion file, the data transfers exactly as it is stored on the system.

Variable-length iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 fields are converted to fixed-length fields, and trailing EBCDIC blanks are added to the maximum length of the field.

Date, time, and time-stamp data is converted to EBCDIC character data.

Variable-length and null fields are converted to fixed length, and trailing EBCDIC blanks (for character, hex, date, time, and time stamp) or EBCDIC zeros (for binary, zoned, and packed) are added to the maximum length of the field.
