- Thanks for all your help.
-
- The JNET Manual for version 3.4 has the following paragraph (on page 6-11):
-
- SEND/FILE adds "W=destuser" to any options supplied with the
- /OPTIONS="text" qualifier. It doesn't add "W=destuser" if "W=" or
- "EXTWTR=" is manually specified in /OPTIONS, nor does it add
- "W=destuser" if there's no destination user (sending to @NODE).
- This default for external writer is useful for sites that send files
- to MVS systems running JES2 and TSO. It eliminates the need to
- specify the "destination user" twice in a SEND/FILE command, as in
- the following:
-
- $ SEND/FILE/OPTIONS="W=CHRIS" filename.dat CHRIS@MVSNODE
-
- /OPTIONS="" is the default.
-
-
- The problem is that it ONLY adds the external writer by default as the
- destination user if you also specify another option, such as
- "/OPTIONS=FORM=blah". There doesn't seem to be a way to have it ONLY
- add the external writer by default.
-
- What I ended up doing was creating a separate channel for our MVS
- machine and creating an option file that had:
-
- OPTIONS=FORMS=STANDARD
-
- The "FORMS" option seemed to be the safest one to specify.
-
- In my previous message, I mentioned using "OPTIONS=W=". Reading the
- blurb above would lead you to believe that this would not include the
- external writer field. Joiner (I can't remember their new name) Tech
- support told me that it would include it by default with "/OPTIONS=W=",
- but it ends up that the manual is correct, and it did not.
-
- Everything seems to be working ok now.
-
- Thanks again.
