command SNDCFTF is no longer working
Problem
command SNDCFTF is no longer working
SNDCFTF is still provided in 313 SP11 but appears not usable?
CFTUIMMSGF is no longer delivered as it was in version 2.4.1
Execution message :
SNDCFTF file(fbB80) lib(cftout) mbr(*firt) tousrid(boucle) idf(fb80)
Fichier de messages CFTUIMMSGF non trouvé en *LIBL
Erreur lors de l'envoi de message UIM003.

Resolution
Indeed, the 'SNDCFTF' and 'SNDCFTSPLF' programs are obsolete and have been removed them from the OS400 package.
Both programs call CFTUIMMSGF file (that is no longer delivered).
More information:
# SNDCFTF: Program to send a PHYSICAL file
The program execute the following command
CFTUTIL PART=&IDPART, IDF=&IDF, FNAME=&LIB/&FILE(&MBR)
# SNDCFTSPLF: Program to send a SPOOL file
CFTUTIL PART=&IDPART,IDF=&IDF, FNAME=&FILE/&SPLNBR/&TRAVAIL/&JOBNBR
Conclusion:
We recommend to use standard command as CFTUTIL to send a physical file and spool file.
The related programs are obsolete and may be the root cause of errors.
Use CFTUTIL instead, delivery and documentation will be updated to remove all references to those depreciated programs
