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)]]

Operand	Explanation
APPL	Represents the 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	Represents the number of times that data will be sent. Default Value: 1 or previous value ‑ see Notes.
LENGTH	Represents the size of the data block that will be transmitted. Default Value: 512
QUAL	Represents the 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.
The values for the APPL and QUAL parameter may be set by a previous SEND or WAIT statement, and the value for the COUNT parameter may be set by a previous RECEIVE or SEND statement. If these parameters are not specified in the SEND statement, the default is the most recent value 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)
