BFXDEF#CLOSE
Example:
Default value:
Allowed values:
BFXDEF#BUSYMAX(180)
NO
NO YES
This optional parameter specifies whether SCLOSE should be used to terminate the file transfer
or not (instead of SDISC). IF SCLOSE is used, any other BFX components to be communicated
with (BFXTI, BFXTR, BFXJS) must also use SCLOSE. It is recommended to use
SCLOSE if all BFXs support it.
Example:
BFXDEF#CLOSE(YES)
BFXDEF#CONTRY
Default value: 5
Allowed values: 1-3600
This optional parameter (abbreviated CON) specifies the time interval (in seconds) between
CONNECT attempts by BFXTI or BFXTR if the offering side is reported “busy” or "not present”
by the remote NETEX. This parameter is also used as the time interval between
OFFER attempts by BFXTI or BFXJS if MAX SESSIONS EXCEEDED. If omitted, the default
is 5 seconds.
Example:
BFXDEF#CONTRY(60)
BFXDEF#CTLDD
Default value: SYSIN
Allowed values: any valid DD name, up to 8 characters in length
This parameter specifies the DDNAME of the file to be used for the input file containing the
BFX control statements. The default is CLTDD = SYSIN.
Example:
BFXDEF#CTLDD(STDIN)
BFXDEF#DISCMAX
Default value: 30
Allowed values: 1-3600
This optional parameter (abbreviated DIS) specifies the maximum actual time (in seconds)
that the BFXTI or BFXTR program will wait for the offering program to be offered on the
remote computer. The connecting program will retry every CONTRY seconds and will receive
a not present indication a maximum of DISCMAX/CONTRY times before informing
the user that the connection attempt is not possible. If omitted, the default is 30 seconds.
BFXDEF#HOST
Example:
Default value:
Allowed values:
BFXDEF#DISCMAX(60)
‘’ (none)
any name, up to 8 characters in length
This parameter specifies a default TO or FROM host address to be used if this parameter is
omitted by the BFX user. This parameter is particularly useful in the environment where
nearly all file transfers are between two processors. The BFXDEF macro does not supply a
