4. Receive the file from the host system:
>RECEIVE $DATA1.HOST1.J1OUT:#PR1
The above RECEIVE command uses default values for all parameters except the
file to receive the data and the associated subdevice.
5. Disconnect from the line server:
>DISCONNECT
6. Exit from the Exchange/SNA command interpreter:
>EXIT
Using an Existing Line
Server on Another System
This example shows how to use an existing line server on a remote system to receive
multiple files from the host system.
1. Start the Exchange/SNA command interpreter:
> RJECIS
2. Specify the name of the existing line server, including the system on which it
resides:
>SET NAME \THERE.$SNA1
3. Establish a connection with that line server:
>CONNECT !
Note that an exclamation point is used with the CONNECT command. This form
of the command does not require that the configuration parameters agree with the
configuration of the line server. As long as the name specifies an existing line
server, the connection is established.
4. Receive the files from the host system:
>RECEIVE $DATA1.HOST1.MDAT:#PR1, END DEFER
The receive operation started by the above RECEIVE command continues
receiving all data sent from the host to the specified destination subdevice (#PR1).
This RECEIVE command must be explicitly stopped using a subsequent ABORT
command. When Exchange/SNA receives a complete file, a message is displayed
on the home terminal, which lets you monitor the progress of the RECEIVE
command. You can also use the SHOW command to see the current status of the
associated subdevice.
5. Stop the RECEIVE command when you have received all the files:
>ABORT #PR1
6. Disconnect from the line server:
>DISCONNECT
7. Exit from the Exchange/SNA command interpreter:
>EXIT
