 Figure 7-3a.  Common Transfer Parameters Panel

Enter the following parameters.

DATA TRANSMISSION PARAMETERS:

RSCS USERID     the VM userid that initially receives the
NAME:           transmission file.  It runs the IBM Remote
                Spooling and Communications Subsystem and
                sends the file as a job to MVS for execution.
                Any VM userid is valid.

JES NODE NAME:  the destination system known by RSCS.  If
                this is specified incorrectly, RSCS either
                rejects the transmission or sends it to the
                wrong system.  Contact your VM System
                Administrator for the correct value to enter
                in this field.

HOLD SPOOL      the disposition of the spool file after the
FILES?:         data has been successfully read.  Valid
                values are:

                Y  - Yes.  Hold processed spool files for
                     manual purge.

                N  - No.  Do not hold a processed spool file;
                     purge it if the transfer is successful.

                Note:  If any error occurs during data
                reading, the spool file is held for manual
                purge.

DATA SOURCE WAIT PARAMETERS:

WAIT FOR        asks VMTWAITR whether or not to wait for a
AVAILABLE       reader file if one is not immediately
SPOOL FILES?:   available.  Valid values are:

                Y  - Yes.  If no reader file is available,
                     wait until the interrupt indicates the
                     presence of a file.

                N  - No.  Do not wait for a file if one is
                     not immediately available.

WAIT FOR        asks VMTWAITR whether or not to wait for
SPECIAL         commands sent via CP Special Message Facility
MESSAGES?:      (SMSG).  Valid values are:

                Y  - Yes.  Wait until the interrupt indicates
                     the presence of a CP SMSG command.

                N  - No.  Do not wait for a CP SMSG command.

DISPLAY         specifies whether or not to display terminal
RESPONSES?:     messages.  Valid values are:

                Y  - Yes.  Display the terminal messages.

                N  - No.  Suppress the terminal messages.

INPUT SPOOL     restricts the files to be read to those whose
FILE CLASS:     class is specified here.  Valid values are
                A-Z, 0-9, or *.

ALTERNATE       specifies the userid of files that may be
ACCOUNT DATA    coming from files belonging to a user other
USERID:         than the CA MICS System Administrator. Use
                this parameter only if Account data is
                preprocessed by another virtual machine and
                then forwarded to the VM Data Transfer
                Program.

INPUT DISK      assigns a one-character file mode letter to a
FILE MODE:      sequential file when it is accessed by the VM
                Data Transfer Program through automatic
                transfer support.  Valid values are A-Z or *.
                The VM Data Transfer Program will assign an
                unused file mode dynamically or will assign Z
                if all file modes are being used when an
                asterisk (*) is specified.  The default value
                is Z.

IN CASE OF      the userid of the person who should receive
AN ERROR,       messages from the VM Data Transfer Program if
NOTIFY:         an error occurs.  The default action, which
                is an asterisk (*), displays messages at the
                VM Data Transfer Program's console.


HELP:           Use the VM Data Transfer Help Facility.
 
QUIT:           Leave without saving.
 
REFRESH:        Replace  the data entry fields with  the
                last entries that were FILEd.
 
FILE:           Save all displayed parameters and exit to the
                previous panel.
 
DEFAULTS:       Display the distributed default parameters.
