Receiving Data Sets with the RECEIVE Command z/OS TSO/E User's Guide SA32-0971-00 |
|||
When you issue the RECEIVE command and a data set was sent to you,
unless the data set was sent as a message, you see something like
the following:
You then have the following options:
The RECEIVE command cannot, in general, reformat data sets. Be sure that you tell the system to write the transmitted data into a data set that has the same record format as the original data set. Be sure that the record length is compatible (equal for fixed-length records and equal or longer for variable-length records). Also, be sure to specify a block size that is compatible with both the record length and record format of the transmitted data. If the system detects a mismatch in block size, record length, or record format, the system terminates the RECEIVE command and issues the appropriate error messages. Note: The RECEIVE command may work differently if your installation
uses security labels and security checking. See Security Considerations for Sending and Receiving Data Sets for more information.
To receive a data set accompanied by a message, enter RECEIVE with no operands, as in the preceding example. When you receive a data set, the system prompts you for information to control how the data set is restored. You can accept the system defaults offered with the prompts, or supply additional operands with the RECEIVE command, as described in the z/OS TSO/E Command Reference. |
