eFT> set input echoFor Boolean qualifiers, a missing value is interpreted by NetEx/eFT as ON.Besides string and Boolean qualifiers, there are also Integer qualifiers. These qualifiers, such asBLOCKSIZE, LINES, and TIMEOUT, accept only integer values and often have numeric range checks associatedwith them. Integer qualifier values may be appended with a ‘K’ (2 10 ) or ‘M’ (2 20 ) multiplier. For example,to set the CONNECT BLOCKSIZE qualifier to 16 kilobytes, the following may be entered:eFT> set connect blocksize 16kOverriding a Command QualifierThe qualifiers that can be defined with the SET command (all non-informational qualifiers), can also be overriddenon the command line. For example, if the current RECEIVE file transfer mode is STREAM, it can beoverridden for a single transfer by entering:eFT> receive -mode character sourcefileThis command does not change the default value of the MODE qualifier, it simply overrides the default valuefor the duration of the command. Therefore, the file ‘sourcefile’ above would be transferred in CHARACTERmode while the default value of RECEIVE qualifier MODE would remain STREAM. This can be verifiedwith the command:eFT> show receive modeeFT: MODe .............. streamWhen forcing a Boolean qualifier to ON from the command line, the value ON is optional. For example, thecommands shown below are equivalent.eFT> send -quiet on sourcefileeFT> send -quiet sourcefileNetEx/eFT interprets the missing Boolean value to be ON, even if the default value is OFF.Online HelpBuilt into NetEx/eFT is an online help facility that makes it easy for a user to obtain help on a particularcommand or topic. The help facility also returns useful information on command qualifiers, qualifier defaults,and command examples. To obtain a general NetEx/eFT help display, use the HELP command as follows:eFT> helpThe general, or top-level help display will include additional topics in which help can be obtained. For instance,one of the help sub-topics will be the NetEx/eFT command LOCAL. To get additional help on theLOCAL command, one would type:eFT> help localTo get help on qualifiers for the LOCAL command, one would type:eFT> help local qualifiersIt is important to note that some help information resides on remote hosts. Therefore, a remote connection isrequired in some cases (such as ‘HELP SEND QUALIFIERS’).Refer to the HELP command in “Command Descriptions” on page 115 for more details.Page 14 IBM z/OS Local User’s Guide REF-eFT213-R5.4-08
