NEWXFER

Indicates the beginning of a new file transfer definition. Unlike all other SYSIN01 parameters, no value is assigned to this parameter. The parameter NEWXFER is entered in SYSIN01 at a point where a new transfer request is defined. The text following the parameter name NEWXFER up to the next occurrence of NEWXFER (if any) forms the definition of a transfer request.

Notes:

• At least one parameter must be specified between succeeding NEWXFER parameters.
• To negate a previously specified parameter, specify the parameter again with no value.
• It is not necessary to respecify all parameters for an additional file transfer, only those that are different. All parameters other than XTC parameters are propagated. For example, if two TYPE=SEND transfers are requested, then the FILE=remote_ file_name parameter is usually specified twice, but the FILETYPE=FILE and TYPE=SEND parameters have to be specified only for the first request.
• Multiple SNA and TCP/IP transfers can be intermixed within the same SYSIN01 stream.
• For information about TYPE=EXECUTE transfers, see the discussion of the CONTINUE parameter for XCOMJOB PARM.
