Directs BACKUP to process files in a manner suitable for data interchange (software distribution) by excluding information that would prevent other utilities or sites from reading the BACKUP save set. The /INTERCHANGE qualifier implies /CONVERT when the input is an ODS-5 disk or file. (You can also specify /NOCONVERT with the /INTERCHANGE qualifier.) The effects of the /INTERCHANGE qualifier are as follows: o Directories not selected as files are not copied. o Access control lists are not copied. o Block size on magnetic tape is limited to 8192 bytes. o Normal error recovery is used to write magnetic tapes so that no bad records exist on the resulting magnetic tape.
