REMOTE_FILE_RF

Indicates the name of the file to be retrieved from the remote system.

For wildcard transfers, use an asterisk (*) as a file name to indicate that all files within the specified PDS/Directory should be transferred. For example, the statement REMOTE_FILE_RF=/NAMES/* indicates that all files under the NAMES directory should be transferred.

When a prefix is followed by an asterisk, all members beginning with a specific prefix are transferred. For example, REMOTE_FILE_RF=/NAMES/AL* requests that files AL, ALEX, and ALICE should be transferred. The same rules apply if an asterisk is followed by a suffix.

The actual file name range (not including its path) for wildcard transfers can be between 0 and 71 characters. This also includes the file extension where applicable. File names over 71 characters are truncated.

Note: For retrieve file transfers only.

Range: 1 to 256 characters

Default: None
