REMOTE CommandNote: For details on how the REMOTE command operates, refer to the User’s Guide for the remote host.The description provided here gives a general overview of the command from the perspective of the localNetEx/eFT initiator.DescriptionREMOTE executes a command on the remote host and displays the results on the local system. The commandcan be a valid command for the remote host’s command line interpreter or an alias command definedusing SET REMOTE ALIAS, or one of the predefined host independent commands (e.g., DIRECTORY,WHO, TYPE, etc.). Whatever the case may be, the command specified must translate into a valid commandon the remote host or it will return an error.There is no interactive mode for the REMOTE command. You must specify a remote host command containingall required parameters or an error will result. Also, since REMOTE doesn’t operate in an interactivemode, you will not be able to successfully execute commands or programs on the remote host that require aninteractive user (e.g., one that prompts for input, such as graphics programs). You could however, useREMOTE to submit a job file on the remote host (or execute a script) that would accomplish much the sametask given proper input data.FormatCommand Qualifier ParameterREMote[ |-DIRectory | string]|-TSOPREFix |[-PREFix string][-QUIet | OFF | ]| ON |commandWhere:REMote-DIRectory or TSOPREFix-PREFix-QUIetcommand(required) the verb for this command.
