The Menu Interface (TSO/ISPF Panels) › Send Report To Another System Screen › Parameter Fields › Local File Name

Local File Name

Indicates the name of the local data set being transferred. Required.

Up to 56 alphanumeric characters

Specifies up to 56 characters consisting of:

• A 1 through 44 character data set name
• An optional member name enclosed in parentheses
• Optional single quotation marks (apostrophes) to enclose the data set.

Your TSO profile prefix is inserted at the beginning of this entry unless the entry is enclosed in single apostrophes. If the TSO profile is set to NOPREFIX, nothing is inserted.

Notes:

• Use an asterisk to send multiple members of a partitioned data set. Specifying an asterisk for the member name sends all members of a PDS, for example, SURVEYS(*). To send all members beginning with a specific prefix, specify this prefix with an asterisk. For example, NAMES.PDS(AL*) requests that members AL, ALEX, and ALICE all be transferred. The asterisk must be the last character before the right parenthesis.
• If no member name is entered for a partitioned data set, a Member Selection List panel is displayed, allowing the selection of one or more members for transfer. For more information, see Remote File Name and Member Selection List in this chapter.

Default: The last data set name entered.
