The complete syntax and function of the RECEIVE command are described
in z/OS TSO/E Command Reference.
The parameters described here are intended for your use. You may
use them, in conjunction with corresponding parameters on the TRANSMIT
command, to test your exit routines and debug user-written control
records. (See z/OS TSO/E Customization for
detailed information on the exit routines and control records.)
The syntax of the RECEIVE command is:
You cannot explicitly specify COPY as a parameter on the RECEIVE
command. COPY is one of the responses to the RECEIVE prompting message
INMR909I.
- RECEIVE is an authorized command.
- USERID
- The specification of a user ID other
than your own. (The specification of this parameter requires OPERATOR
authority or authorization through the RECEIVE initialization exit
(INMRZ01).
- userid
- Any user ID (The user ID may exist in SYS1.UADS or the RACF® data base at the target node
or may be a nonexistent user ID.)
- COPY
- Do not restore the transmitted data
to its original format, but copy it ‘as is’ from the JES SPOOL. (The
use of this operand allows you to examine the data in its transmitted
form to debug problems when RECEIVE cannot process the transmitted
data.)
- INDDNAME | INFILE
- A
pre-allocated file used as the input data set to receive the transmitted
data. Define the data set with RECFM=F, FB, V, VB, or U. For F and
FB, LRECL=80. The remaining DCB attributes are installation options.
- ddname
- The name on a DD statement that identifies the data set. The
data set may be sequential or partitioned but must be the same as
the specification for OUTDDNAME or OUTFILE.
- INDSNAME | INDATASET
- A sequential
data set used as the input data set to receive the transmitted data.
Define the data set with RECFM=F, FB, V, VB, or U. For F and FB,
LRECL=80. The remaining DCB attributes are installation options.
- dsn
- The name of a sequential data set.
- value:
- a name that conforms to TSO/E data set naming conventions
