All data that moves between the RSP, DirectConnect, and MainframeConnect is in Tabular Data Stream™ (TDS) format, which replaces Integrated Exchange Format (IXF). TDS is a Sybase proprietary format, which manages data formatting for you. DirectConnect translates the records it receives into a standard CT-Library format that the client application can handle. DirectConnect no longer converts IXF format input pipes to DB2 format.
WARNING! Preformatted IXF data is not converted to DB2-format input pipes any more. Convert your source data to ASCII for DB2-formatted input pipes.
