PREFIXQUALx(MEMBER)/PASSWD(optional) is an alphanumeric string including national characters (such as $, #, and @ in theUnited States) from one to eight characters long, the first character being alphanumeric or anational character. If you explicitly provide a PREFIX, you must also put single quotes at thebeginning and end of the data set name. If you leave off the single quotes, NetEx/eFT prefixesthe data set name you specify with the value of the z/OS host’s qualifier TSOPREFIX.TSOPREFIX is initially set to the prefix defined in the TSO/E user’s profile.is an alphanumeric string including national characters ($, #, or @ in the USA) from one toeight characters long, the first character being alphabetic or a national character. QUALxstrings must be separated by a single period. All qualifiers are optional.(optional) represents the name of a member of a special kind of data set called a partitioneddata set. A member name is an alphanumeric string including national characters ($, #, or @in the USA) from 1 to 8 characters long, the first character being alphabetic or a nationalcharacter. The member name must be enclosed in parentheses. When no member name ispresent, NetEx/eFT assumes the data set is a sequential data set.(optional) optional data set password from one to eight alphanumeric or national characterslong, the first of which must be alphabetic or a national character ($, #, @ in the USA). Thedefault password is the TSO/E user ID password.The maximum length of a data set name (excluding optional member and single quotes) is 44 characters.Experienced IBM z/OS users may also use previously allocated data sets by specifying Data Definition (DD)Names instead of data set names. To specify a DD name, use the format:DD:ddnameFor example, to send the DD name MJG001 from the command line you would type:SEND DD:MJG001The optional member name may be supplied following the DD name. Specifying a member name will temporarilyoverride the member name provided when the DD name was originally allocated. The order of precedencefor DD names is as follows:1. A member name specified on the z/OS NetEx/eFT command, such as:DD:PDS(MEMBER)2. A member name specified as part of the data set name on a TSO/E ALLOCATE command or JCL DDcard, for example:DSN=PREFIX.PDS(DDMBR)3. A member name constructed from the file name on the remote host system. For example, a remote hostfile name of DOCUMENT.TXT would generate a member name of (DOCUMENT).Note: Overriding the member name on a DD: specification prevents the data set from being extended beyondits current space allocation.REF-eFT213-R5.4-08 File Handling Under IBM z/OS NetEx/eFT Page 51
