SEND CommandDescriptionThe SEND command sends the source file from the local host and saves it as a destination file or data set onthe active remote host.If the source data set specification is not a fully qualified data set name (i.e., if it is not enclosed in singlequotes), the data set name is prefixed with the current default value of DIRECTORY (which is equivalent toTSOPREFIX) on the destination z/OS host. Similarly, if the destination file specification is not fully qualified(if connected to another z/OS host), or if no path to the file is specified (i.e., if a file name is given withouta directory on non-z/OS hosts), the file is prefixed with the default value of DIRECTORY on the destinationhost.If the destination parameter is not specified at all, a file name will be constructed from the source data setname and will be prefixed with the value of DIRECTORY on the destination host.NetEx/eFT for IBM z/OS will transfer into either a sequential or a partitioned data set. If a member name issupplied as part of the data set name, NetEx/eFT will assume the data set is partitioned, and either create anew partitioned data set and member, or create/replace the member in an existing partitioned data set. If amember name is supplied and the existing data set is sequential, an error message is returned. If no membername is supplied and the existing destination data set is partitioned, NetEx/eFT will build a member namefrom the source file (data set) name and create or replace the member. Otherwise, NetEx/eFT will create anew sequential data set or replace (overwrite) an existing sequential data set.Experienced z/OS users may also use a DD Name (Data Definition name) in place of an z/OS data set nameso long as the DD Name references an allocated data set with valid characteristics for the particular file transfer.The syntax for specifying a DD name is DD:ddname or DD:ddname(member). z/OS secondary spacerequests will not be processed if the member name is provided on a DD specification.The data set name may include the NetEx/eFT wildcard characters * and ?. See “Source Wildcard Supportfor IBM z/OS File Transfers” on page 54 and “Destination Wildcard Support for IBM z/OS File Transfers”on page 56 for more details.FormatWhere:Command Qualifier ParameterSENd [-qualifiers] source [destination]Where:SENd-qualifierssourcedestination(required) the verb for this command. The minimum spelling is SEN.(optional) the qualifiers that apply to the SEND command. Refer to the file handling sectionof the remote host for details about these qualifiers. For a remote z/OS host, refer to “FileHandling Under IBM z/OS NetEx/eFT” on page 41.(required) the file specification for the file on the local host that you intend to send to the remotehost.(optional) the file specification for the new file that is to be created on the remote host.Page 148 Command Descriptions REF-eFT213-R5.4-08
