SEND Statement

The SEND statement transmits data to a test application executing on another MVS system.

SEND [[APPL(name1)] [COUNT(nn)] [LENGTH(bytes)] [QUAL(name2)]]

Parameters

APPL

Primary ID of the target test application. This ID must match the primary ID on the COMMTEST statement that creates the application.

Default Value: COMMTEST or previous value. See Notes.

COUNT

Number of times that data is sent.

Default: 1 or previous value. See Notes.

LENGTH

Size of the data block that is transmitted.

Default: 512

QUAL

Secondary ID of the target application. This ID must match the secondary ID on the COMMTEST statement that creates the target application.

Default Value: COMMTEST or previous value. See Notes.

Notes:

You can specify this statement only as input to the LDMAMS utility.
Specify this statement after any WAIT statement you have included.
A previous SEND or WAIT statement can set the values for the APPL and QUAL parameters. A previous RECEIVE or SEND statement can set the value for the COUNT parameter. If these parameters are not specified in the SEND statement, the default is the most recent value that was established within a COMMTEST application.

Example

To send data to test application TESTAPP SYS2, specify this statement as input to your LDMAMS job:

SEND APPL(TESTAPP) QUAL(SYS2)
