Add Transfer Method in use (Text or Binary) for CDW and CDU

During our transfers from remote partners, we are frequently called to assist others with translation and file transport issues. Many of our remote users are unaware of the CD processes in use and how they function. We need to have the ability to know how a file was transferred to us (Binary or Text) to know what to expect and assist with file translation issues. And to extend to this, the source and destination codepages in play so that translation issues can be troubleshot and resolved. And to extend that the sysopts that were submitted as part of the process.

What is your industry? Government
How will this idea be used?

Will allow us to know if a file was transmitted as binary or text and troubleshoot any issues. Also will possibly allow us to trigger automation for files that may have been sent incorrectly and deploy additional actions, IE notifications or automated re-submits or OS level actions by Sterling Control Center.
