CONNECTDISCONNECTLOCALRECEIVEREMOTESENDTransferring Files to a IBM z/OS HostThe file transfer capabilities of NetEx/eFT are provided by two commands, SEND and RECEIVE. The SENDcommand provides file transfer from the local host to a remote IBM z/OS host. The RECEIVE commandtransfers files from a remote IBM z/OS host back to the local host.The SEND and RECEIVE commands function the same regardless of the host from which they are executed.However, the command qualifiers to SEND and RECEIVE differ depending on the hosts involved. The qualifiersaffect how files are stored, transferred, named, etc. For details on the SEND and RECEIVE qualifiersthat exist for file transfers to and from a IBM z/OS system, refer to “File Handling Under IBM z/OSNetEx/eFT” on page 41.Executing Remote TSO/E CommandsThe REMOTE command gives users the ability to execute TSO/E commands on a remote IBM z/OS systemand view the results. Host commands can either be a native TSO/E command, a TSO/E CLIST, or a remotealias (or host-independent command) having a valid TSO/E command translation.The following is an example of the REMOTE command being used within IBM z/OS NetEx/eFT to check thestatus of the user’s batch jobs previously queued. The TSO/E command is STATUS:eFT> remote statuseFT: JOB SMITHX1T(JOB14446) ON OUTPUT QUEUEeFT: JOB SMITHX1T(JOB14447) WAITING FOR EXECUTIONThe prefix eFT: indicates that the results are being returned from the IBM z/OS host. This prefix can be modifiedor turned off using the SET REMOTE PREFIX command.Using REMOTE to execute commands on a IBM z/OS host, it is possible to do tasks such as submit a batchjob, invoke a compiler, execute a CLIST, status a queue, delete a file, etc. Any noninteractive, nonfullscreenoriented TSO/E command can be issued. Interactive commands that require users to respond to prompts orfull screen oriented applications cannot be run through NetEx/eFT using the REMOTE command. It shouldbe noted, however, that many interactive tasks can still be performed by providing a CLIST containing therequested information.REMOTE Command StatusThe completion status of the REMOTE TSO/E command is placed in the NetEx/eFT variable {status:remote}.The possible values are:0 Normal (successful) completion.NInteger value for unsuccessful completion. Set by TSO/E command.Sxxx Abnormal completion with z/OS system ABEND xxx.Uxxxx Abnormal completion with z/OS system ABEND xxxx.Interrupt Unsuccessful completion due to a keyboard interrupt (attention).Error Unsuccessful completion due to invalid, unknown, or unsupported TSO/E command.REF-eFT213-R5.4-08 IBM z/OS Remote User’s Guide Page 37
