Unable to create the connect direct partner using custom protocol from B2Bi REST API

We are trying to create connect direct partner via custom protocol using B2BI rest api.


We are unable to add below values which have comma(,) in middle while creating the partner in custom extensions

RemoteDCB:(RECFM=FB,LRECL=160)

RemoteDISP:(NEW,CATLG)


Due to this, partner onboarding is failing.


What is your industry? Financial Markets
How will this idea be used?

We are planning to onboard partners using connect direct as part of huge migration project.
