    WRQMPEStream Property
    In This Topic
    Set this property to true to use the "stream" record format supported by POSIX and MPE programs for all files that you send to the host. (When you receive files from the host, the WRQ/Reflection protocol detects the record format of the host file and performs the correct translation.)
    Syntax
    expression.WRQMPEStream As Boolean
    where expression is a variable that represents a FileTransfer Object
    Remarks
    Native POSIX files under version 5.0 of the MPE operating system support a record format known as "stream," which is just a stream of bytes. Files created under the POSIX shell or by POSIX programs have this format by default. Files created from the MPE command interpreter or by MPE programs can be stream files.

    Interoperability between stream files and other record formats is automatic. This means an MPE program can read from a stream file and it will appear to be a traditional variable-length record file, and a POSIX program will see all files as stream files. MPE does the translation automatically.

    This property is relevant only for transfers to MPE hosts (that is, WRQHostSystem is set to WRQMPEFileNamesOption.HP3000) and transfers that use the WRQ/Reflection protocol. The default value is false (PCLINK2 defaults to a Fixed record format for ASCII files and a Variable record format for binary files).
