 Figure 7-3i. Error Recording Data Parameters Panel

Specify the following parameters.


ERROR RECORDING DATA PARAMETERS

TRANSMISSION    The mode by which the data is transferred,
MODE:           whether via spool (NJE or similar mechanism)
                or via tape (as a sequential file).  Valid
                values are:
 
                SPOOL  - Send data via NJE.
 
                FILE   - Send data via sequential file.


                     If FILE is specified, you must code the
                     ERDS.OUTPUT section of the VMTFDEF exit.

                         See Section 10.1 for further
                         information about VMTFDEF.

DATA SOURCE:    The ERDS.INPUT section of the VMTFDEF exit
                must always be coded for error recording data
                transfer.

                If the VM Data Transfer Program runs in
                automatic mode with VMTWAITR transferring
                disk-resident files, the following parameters
                can be provided for source data disk
                information:  USERID, VIRTUAL ADDRESS, READ
                PASSWORD, and LINKED AS.  Refer to Section
                9.1.2 for further information about VMTWAITR.

USERID:         A VM userid whose entry in the system
                directory contains the data disk.  Specify
                USERID, VIRTUAL ADDRESS, and READ PASSWORD
                only if the data disk is not made available
                to the VM Data Transfer Program via system
                directory or anywhere before invoking
                VMTWAITR.
VIRTUAL         The virtual device address of the data disk
ADDRESS:        as defined in the specified userid's entry in
                the system directory.

READ PASSWORD:  The read access password of the data disk as
                defined in the system directory for the
                specified userid.

LINKED AS:      A virtual address to be assigned to the data
                disk when it is linked by the VM Data
                Transfer Program.  Valid value is a 1- to
                4-hexadecimal digit minidisk address.
 
                If the data disk has been linked before the
                VM Data Transfer Program is invoked, specify
                the linked address as defined here and leave
                USERID as the default (********).
 
                If an asterisk (*) is coded here, the VM Data
                Transfer Program assigns a virtual address by
                itself when it comes to link the data disk.

DATA            Specify whether or not the data being
COMPRESSION?:   transferred is compressed before
                transmission.  Valid values are:
 
                Y  - Yes.  Perform data compression.
 
                N  - No.  Bypass data compression.

INPUT DATA      Specify whether or not the input data file
ARCHIVE?:       should be saved as part of the transfer
                process.  This option causes the data to be
                saved before record selection is performed.
                Valid values are:
 
                Y  - Yes.  Save the input data before
                     eliminating records via the record
                     selection process.
 
                N  - No. Transfer the data without archiving.

                     If Y is specified, you must code the
                     ERDS.ARCHIVE section of the VMTFDEF
                     exit.

                     See Section 10.1 for further information
                     about VMTFDEF.

OUTPUT DATA     Specify whether or not the output data file
DUPLEX?:        should be saved as a part of the program.
                This option causes the data to be saved
                following the record selection process and
                before data compression.  Valid values are:
 
                Y  - Yes.  Save the data following the record
                     selection process.
 
                N  - No.  Do not save the selected records
                     before data data compression.


                     If Y is specified, you must code the
                     ERDS.DUPLEX section of the VMTFDEF exit.

                     See Section 10.1 for further information
                     about VMTFDEF.

JCL FILE        The CMS file identifier for the JCL used when
NAME:           transferring data via NJE.  Separate files
(used for       are used for each data source.  Any CMS file
spool           identifier is valid.  Section 7.2 includes
transmission)   sample JCL.
