JCL and Control Parameters for BFX
This section describes the JCL used to execute the BFXTR and BFXTI programs and the control parameters
for these two programs. These control parameters, which may be control statements or parameters associated
with a control statement, are used when executing the BFXTI and BFXTR programs.
JCL For Executing the BFXTI and BFXTR Programs
An example of the JCL needed to start and run the BFXTI and BFXTR programs is shown in Figure 6. Complete
examples of BFXTI and BFXTR applications are contained in the “Applications” section on page 25.
//jobname1 JOB accounting information
//* Execute BFX Transfer Initiate program
// EXEC PGM=BFXTI
//STEPLIB DD bfx load module library
//* Define output for error or status messages
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//* Optional file containing remote job control statements
//RMTJOB DD remote job file spec
//* Define file information for input or output files
//FILEIN DD input file spec
//* or
//FILEOUT DD output file spec
//* Optional file of control statements
//SYSIN DD control file spec
If the partner system is also a z/OS system, the contents of the RMTJOB file
would be:
//jobname2 JOB accounting information
// EXEC PGM=BFXTR,PARM='control statement'
//STEPLIB DD bfx load module library
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//FILEIN DD input file spec
//* or
//FILEOUT DD output file spec
//SYSIN DD control file spec
The following statements appear in Figure 6:
JOB
Figure 6. BFXTI / BFXTR example JCL
This parameter defines the jobname and accounting information for the BFXTI program.
EXEC PGM=BFXTI
This statement invokes the transfer initiate part of BFX. The program does not need to be authorized
in any way. No parameters are required. However, if a single file is to be transferred, the single control
statement may be supplied on a PARM statement. If a PARM statement is supplied, the SYSIN
dataset will be ignored.
