Q. Why is the /CONVERT=STREAM_CRLF option not converting files from the client?
A. When an export is mounted with the /CONVERT=STREAM_CRLF or /CONVERT=STREAM_LF and a file is copied to the export, the file that is produced on the NFS server does not appear to be converted. There is no CR LF (x0A X0D) or LF (X0A) in the file.
The NFS Client does not perform conversions when 'block mode transfers' are performed. COPY and also EDT use block mode transfers when copying or creating files. Instead of COPY the CONVERT command can be used. Instead of EDT, TPU can be used. Most applications do RMS sequential access when they create files on the export and these will be converted.
There is a note in the Management Guide that makes reference to this.
The note reads -
You can only convert files opened using RMS sequential access to STREAM_CRLF or STREAM_LF format when written by the client.
