Data Interfaces

Chapter 1 Summary
l The simplest method of organizing data is through sequential files. In
particular, they provide a convenient way of exchanging data between
systems. The TRANSFER command writes data (record by record) to a
directory on the application server; you specify the path using the notation
appropriate for the operating system. The READ DATASET command allows
the target system to read in the data and you can then continue processing it
if required. You open and close sequential files in the appropriate mode for
whatever processing is required.
