NULLFLDS (Allow Transfer of Files with NULL Fields)

The NULLFLDS IBM® i FTP client subcommand determines whether to allow the transfer of database files that contain NULL field values on the local system and the remote system.

FTP client subcommand

NUllflds [ 0 | 1 ]

When you enter a parameter the valid values are:

0
Do not allow the transfer of database files that contain NULL fields. This is the default.
1
Allow the transfer of database files that contain NULL fields.
Notes:
  1. The 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 to a system that is not a IBM i product, 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.
