Sending data sets to a different system

When you have collected data in several VSAM data sets, use the CLIST ERBV2S, which is supplied with RMF, to unload them to a sequential data set for transport.

ERBV2S Syntax

ERBV2S vsam_dsn seq_dsn [TRACKS(num_tracks)]

Where:

vsam_dsn

The name of the Monitor III VSAM data set.

seq_dsn

The name of the sequential data set to be created.

If this parameter is specified as *, ERBV2S creates a data set name according to the following rules:

The suffix SEQ is appended to the input data set name
The first qualifier is replaced by the user's dsname prefix

num_tracks

The size of the primary extent of the sequential output data set. The default is 250 tracks. Any unused space is released after REPRO.

Examples

To unload the data from VSAM data set RMF.MONIII.DS1 to sequential data set RMF.MONIII.DS1.UNLOAD, enter:

ERBV2S 'RMF.MONIII.DS1' 'RMF.MONIII.DS1.UNLOAD'

To unload the same data to sequential data set userid.MONIII.DS1.SEQ, enter:

ERBV2S 'RMF.MONIII.DS1' *

Use TRANSMIT to send the resulting sequential file to another system for analysis.
