connect to the BFXJSTAT function on the remote host to determine whether the BFXTR job failed or<br />

is still awaiting execution. If it failed, it will print out a message received from the remote job status<br />

function on the remote host. If the job is still awaiting execution, then the BFXTI job will reoffer itself<br />

for the TIMEOUT value. This process will continue until the BFXTR job finally executes or<br />

leaves the input queues. See the comments on the RMTJOB parameter in “Job Status Function Request<br />

Component (BFXJSTAT)” on page 31.<br />

Note that the remote job status function must be started by the user on the remote system in the same<br />

way that the BFXJS function is started (entering START BFXSTAT for example).<br />

If this parameter is not supplied, this feature will not be used. Note that not all systems that use BFX<br />

have the remote job status function.<br />

- (line continuation character)<br />

This character may be used in the SYSIN parameter file to indicate that more parameters for the same<br />

transfer are on the following line.<br />

CLOSE and NOCLOSE<br />

This is an optional parameter (abbreviated CLO and NOC) that specifies whether SCLOSE should be<br />

used to terminate the file transfer or not (instead of SDISC). If SCLOSE is used, any other BFX<br />

components to be communicated with (BFXTI, BFXTR, BFXJS) must also use SCLOSE. It is recommended<br />

to use SCLOSE if all BFXs support it.<br />

If this parameter is not supplied, an installation-defined default is used.<br />

TIME and NOTIME<br />

These optional parameters (abbreviated TIM and NOT) specify if a time of day timestamp is to precede<br />

all BFX generated messages (TIME) or not (NOTIME).<br />

If present, the timestamp will take the form hh.mm.ss (where hh = hours (24-hour clock), mm = minutes,<br />

and ss = seconds).<br />

If this parameter is not supplied, an installation-defined default is used.<br />

UPPER and UPLOW<br />

These optional parameters (abbreviated UPP and UPL) specify if the messages that are to be placed<br />

in the SYSPRINT log file are to be printed in uppercase only (UPPER) or in mixed-case (UPLOW).<br />

If this parameter is not supplied, an installation-defined default is used.<br />
