/ENCODING=type This qualifier controls the type of encoding used to encode the input file. The possible values for this qualifier are BASE64, CBASE64 (gzip compressed BASE64), BASE85, BINHEX (encoding only, not the file format), BTOA, HEXADECIMAL, PATHWORKS, QUOTED_ PRINTABLE, UUENCODE, CUUENCODE (gzip compressed UUENCODE). BASE64 encoding is the default; this is also the default decoding type used by DECODE.
