- Correct! Files are being produced at a remote MVS site. The files are
- needed at a local MVS site. The files are used as part of a local process
- using local JCL, etc. at the local site, and the files are needed as OS
- disk files in the local MVS system with locally specified DSNames, etc.
- This process is currently being handled manually using a variety of different
- means (tapes by next-day air being the target of this exercise). I am
- trying to demonstrate that a service machine running in VM can automate the
- process using a few simple control files. This will save trips to the air-
- port, tape handling, delays caused by bad tapes, etc. Other parts of this
- process are handled by folks staying up late at night to manually process
- files via CMS. The systems involved are part of BITNET.
-
- I wish to take the NETDATA file and cause it to become an OS dataset with
- a locally specified dsname on our MVS system using PGM=IKJEFT01. So what
- I really need is a way to take the file, intact, wrap JCL around it and
- sent it as an MVS job ... and Yossie Silverman pointed out that I probably
- don't need to decode the file at all ... just punch JCL, copy the input
- netdata card images, punch more JCL, and send the job to MVS. Hope it
- works!
-
- I will have more complicated things to do with netdata later, so am col-
- lecting and saving all suggestions (while wondering why I didn't think of
- them myself ;-) )
