A file from the remote system that is to be written to the punch file is identified by

a device select sequence at the beginning of the file. The recognized device select

sequences are:

Symbols EBCDIC Code ASCII Code

2780 ESC 4 %H27 F4 %H1B 34

3780 DC2 %H12 %H12

DC3 %H13 %H13

To be recognized, the device select sequences must be the first characters in the

first block of the file. The first block must also be transmitted as normal text, not

transparent text. If the file begins with any other device select sequences or no

device select sequence, or if the first block is transmitted as transparent text, the

records are written to the print file. Also, if no print file is specified, all data is

written to the print file regardless of any device select sequences.

If you omit the volume name, the default volume is your current default volume.

If you omit both the volume and subvolume names, the default volume and

subvolume are your current default volume and subvolume.

Note that if you specify a punch file, you must also specify a print file. The print

file must be specified even if no data is received for it.

parameter

is one of the following terms:

A[LL]

specifies that the receive operation should continue until you stop the

operation using the ABORT or INTERRUPT command. The ALL parameter

allows several files to be received with a single RECEIVE command. All the

files are written to the same print file (or punch file, if one is specified and the

files begin with the required escape sequences). See “Considerations” below

for information on how to distinguish records from different files within a

single print file.

If you omit the ALL parameter, the receive operation stops when an EOT is

received. This allows you to receive multiple files in a single transmission

with an ETX at the end of each file.

E[BCDICNL] { ON | OFF }

specifies whether the EBCDIC NL character is passed as ASCII data (%H85) or

as a record separator. This parameter overrides the global mode of the line—

as set by the RJECIR, SET, or RJESV command—for the duration of the

RECEIVE command.
