Define Two CA XCOM Data Transport Files

To call CA XCOM Data Transport as a subprogram, you must define two CA XCOM Data Transport files in the job step executing your application:

File:

The file identifying the local data set involved in this transfer.

Description:

This can be either the file being transferred to the remote system, or the name of the data set in which CA XCOM Data Transport will store the data received from the remote system. Define this data set using either the LCLDS01 DD statement or the SYSIN01 file's LFILE parameter.

Note: If both are specified, the data set defined by LFILE takes precedence.

File:

The file that passes parameters to CA XCOM Data Transport.

Description:

These instructions include whether this is an inbound or outbound transfer and whom to notify on the remote system when the transfer is completed.

The DDNAME for this file is SYSIN01.

Allocate these two files to your job through JCL DD statements or by dynamic allocation. You will probably only use the dynamic allocation method for interactive or Assembler programs.
