FILETYPE

Indicates the output type of the transfer on the target system. Required.

FILE

Indicates that the transferred information is a file to be stored on the external media of the receiving system.

This parameter value can be used with TYPE=SEND and TYPE=RECEIVE requests.

JOB

Indicates that the transferred information is a batch job submitted for execution on the remote system.

This parameter value can be used only with TYPE=SEND requests.

For JOB requests sent to a z/OS partner using Unicode (CODE=UTF8 or UTF16), the remote CCSID is required to be EBCDIC based as JES is unable to process non-EBCDIC characters.

REPORT

Indicates that the transferred information is a report to be printed on the remote system.

This parameter value can be used only with TYPE=SEND requests.

Note: You can use symbolic variables with this parameter in batch SYSIN01. For more information, see Symbolic Parameters.

GATEWAYGUID

This parameter identifies the remote file as a CA XCOM Gateway file and specifies the CA XCOM Gateway GUID. The CA XCOM Gateway GUID is a unique value that identifies each CA XCOM Gateway file. The keyword ANY can be used to identify the remote file as a CA XCOM Gateway file when the CA XCOM Gateway GUID is not known.

Range: 0 to 36 characters

Default: None (the remote file is not a CA XCOM Gateway file).
