VSAM - Sending files from z/os to z/os using CFT monitor
-- How to send VSAM files from z/os to z/os using CFT monitor
Resolution
* Many options of a VSAM file will not be exchanged along a PeSIT transfer due to the limitation of file description handled by the protocol. Therefore, using ADRDSSU to exchange VSAM type files between 2 CFT monitor must be considered.
It works also for PDS file type.
Using ADRDSSU for a transfer needs special explained bellow:
CFTSEND/CFTRECV syntax must be:
CFTSEND ID = ADRDSSU,
FTYPE = 1 ,
FNAME = '#IMSYS.DPICDS.TRANSFER_' ,
WFNAME = a work, file ,
&
CFTRECV ID = ADRDSSU ,
FTYPE = 1 ,
/* MACTION = REPLACE , For PDS only, action on members */
FNAME = '%%' ,
WFNAME = temporay.work.file ,
USERID = to be specified when needed,
Where:
FTYPE = 1 will force ADRDSSU call
Fname will be followed by 1 2 or 3 "_"
On the receiving side, the file(s) will be stored with the SAME file name if fname= '%%', or the FIRST QUALIFIER will be changed if fname ='%%QUALIFIER'
