Use the TYPE command to indicate the canonicalization to be applied to this file.
The TYPE statement must come after a FILE command and preceed any DATA commands.

The syntax is
  TYPE     type  

where
type   is either A or I or any other defined canonicalization

Canonicalization is at the heart of UFT. There are a finite number of conversions that must be applied to files to be carried between unlike hosts. Proper application of these conversions (canonicalizations) ensures file integrity.

An alternate syntax is
  TYPE     type   [   cc   ]  

where
type   is either A or I or any other defined canonicalization
cc   is a carriage control indicator

Carriage control is generallly only applicable to program listings and similar printed output. Use "C" to indicate ASA carriage control (FORTRAN carriage control). Other values will be implementation dependent. The design of UFT is such that unrecognized values may be ignored.
