Chapter 3 Sending a File Sending a file on Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS requires the Sterling Connect:Direct Send (CDSND) command. Understanding the Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS file systems, the CDSND command parameters, block mode transfer, and the CDSND screens enables you to use this command more effectively. Using the File Systems Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS supports two types of file systems to perform file transfers: native file and integrated file.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide /QSYS.LIB is the iSeries DB2 file system /QOpenSys is a UNIX-style file system All others are part of the root file system Specifying a Path Name The integrated file system recognizes the objects by the path specification. You must specify the fully qualified path name to transfer a file. Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS identifies a path that starts with a slash (/) or a backslash (\) as a request for the integrated file system.
Sending a File 21 CDSND Command Format The following table shows the parameters for the CDSND command. Required parameters are in bold.

Sending a File 23 SNODENVIRN(remote-environment-name) specifies the 1–10 character alphanumeric name for the receiving node environment: OS400, OS390, MVS, MSP, OPENVMS, TANDEM, UNIX, VM, VOS, VSE, Microsoft Windows, or Microsoft Windows_NT. FDSN(‘from data-set-name’) specifies the file to be sent to the remote node. The file name can be up to 256 characters long. File names are verified based on the i5/OS standard file name conventions.The entire data set name must be in single quotes.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide SNODENVIRN TDSN Format Special Considerations Integrated File System ‘/QSYS.LIB/library-name.LIB /file-name.FILE /member-name.MBR’ or ‘/directory/file-name| /QLANSrv/file-name| /QDLS/folder-name| /QOpenSys/file-name’ You cannot specify the *SNDFFD, *SELECT, and *EXCLUDE parameters with the integrated file system. Spool File Support Do not use member names longer than eight characters when sending to z/OS, VSE, and MSP.
Sending a File 25 EXITCMD(valid i5/OS command) specifies a command to execute only if the copy process is successful. FAILCMD(valid i5/OS command) specifies a command to be executed only if the copy process is not successful. SNDFFD(*YES|*NO) specifies whether the sending node transfers file field descriptions. Use the following formula to determine whether a file is sent with the file field descriptions. If the bytes required value is greater than 12K, you cannot transfer the file field descriptions.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide DBCS indicates that the data is pure DBCS characters and that no SO/SI characters are used. The following rules apply to the use of the XTRAN keyword: You must specify the XTRAN keyword to use extended translation; all other keywords are optional. The default for local shift-out is the IBM standard x0E. The default for local shift-in is the IBM standard x0F. The default local data format is MIXED with SO/SI in use.
Sending a File 27 CCSID(nnnnn) specifies the coded character set ID to use when creating IFS files. If no character set ID is specified, the system default is used. EORCHAR(xxxx) specifies the two-to four-digit hexadecimal symbol to identify the character to use in text files as the end-of-record character, for example, EORCHAR(0A). CODEPAGE(nnnnn,nnnnn) converts data from one code page to another.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide The following TOSYSOPTS parameters are valid for TYPE(SPLF) files: DEV(*JOB|*SYSVAL|device-name) specifies the name of the printer device description. DEVTYPE(*IPDS|*SCS)|*USERASCII specifies the type of data stream created for a printer file from the data received. PAGESIZE(page-length page-width) specifies the length and width of the page used by the printer. This parameter overrides the FORMTYPE parameter. LPI(3|4|6|7.
Sending a File 29 COPIES(number-of-copies) specifies the number of copies to be printed. Valid values range from 1–255. This parameter is valid only when SPOOL(*YES). MAXRCDS(maximum-records) specifies the maximum number of records that is placed in the spooled file. Valid values range from 1–500000. This parameter is valid only when SPOOL(*YES). FILESEP(number-of-file-separators) specifies the number of blank separator pages to be placed between each copy of the file printed.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide CLASS(n) determines the node-to-node session on which an operation can execute. The CLASS is a number in the range of 1–255. If you do not specify the CLASS parameter, it defaults to the number of maximum sessions defined in the mode description for the communications environment. Note: The CLASS parameter is not used by Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS.
Sending a File 31 ECWINSIZE specifies the extended compression window size, which is specifically for the history buffer that is filled from the user’s input buffer (both compressing and decompressing). The window specifies the amount of storage designated to maintain data previously read. This data can be scanned for string matches. The extended compression window size affects how much virtual memory the extended compression routines use.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide PLEXCLASS(user-defined class) specifies a user-defined class containing up to eight characters associated with a Sterling Connect:Direct/Server in a Sterling Connect:Direct/Plex environment. This represents a type of server on which you want to run a task, for example TAPE. Note: This parameter is for use only in Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS environments. PNAME(process-name) identifies the Process in any messages or statistics.
Sending a File 33 Digital Signature specifies if a digital signature is created while a file is being transmitted. Note: The SECOPTIONS parameter is valid only if the Sterling Connect:Direct Secure Plus is installed. For information about these parameters, refer to the IBM Sterling Connect:Direct Secure Plus Implementation Guide. SELECT(member, new-name, R/NR, ‘list’) specifies selection criteria by which file members are to be copied.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide pswd specifies the current security password. The security system on the SNODE can use this parameter to validate the current security password (1–64 alphanumeric characters). This is optional unless you have security set to require a password. newpswd specifies the new security password and is used by the security system to change the current security password to the new security password (1–64 alphanumeric characters).
Sending a File 35 optcd specifies optional processing associated with this file. This specification only applies to this file and is not automatically applied to the other files involved in the RECEIVE operation. Valid options are: W performs write validity checks on direct access storage devices. Q performs ASCII-to-EBCDIC conversion for input files and EBCDIC-to-ASCII conversion for output files. Q is the default and only used for AL-labeled tape files. Z performs reduced error recovery for tape files.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide MOD indicates that the operation modifies the member by adding data to the end of the member or, if none exists, allocates a new member. The file is also created if it does not exist. RPL indicates that the destination file or member is replaced. The file is created if it does not exist. SHR indicates that another operation can read the file simultaneously. The file is created if it does not exist on i5/OS.
Sending a File 37 When used with the FROM parameter, the access modes are W (primary read/write access), M (primary multiple access), R (primary read only), RR (primary and remote read only access), WR (primary read/write access; alternate read only access), MR (primary multiple access; alternate read only access), and MW (primary multiple access; alternate read/write only access). When used with the TO parameter, the access modes are W, M, and MW.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide K enables the KQV logic trace. D enables the all-purpose data dump. H enables the FMH dump. V enables the XDR dump. P enables the CIPC dump. *ALL enables all product traces.(L, S, F, C, X, K, D, H, V, and P) *EXT enables all product traces plus two other traces. (TRCICF and TRCJOB) *COMMON enables the most commonly used traces. (L, S, F, C, and H) *NONE turns off all traces.
Sending a File 39 TTYPE(entry-name) specifies the entry name of the type defaults file on the remote node that contains the default file attributes used to allocate the destination file. TUNIT(file-address) specifies the unit address, device type, or user-assigned group name where the file resides or will reside. For SAM-to-SAM copies where the destination file is new and the UNIT parameter is not coded, the device type from the source file is used.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS simulates block reads and writes. Using logical blocks instead of physical blocks, it allows you to modify the blocksize to match the other node in some cases.
Sending a File 41 Because the blocksizes match, the block mode copy occurs. C:D i5: request: srce file: dest file: receiving source blksize=not specified; dest blksize = 3200 lrecl=80, (on another C:D i5 3.3 node) NEW CDRCV Example—Specifying Source File Blocksize In the second example, the following occurs: Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS calculates the simulated blocksize at 3200 because the destination file is new and the source file specifies a blocksize.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide Using the CDSND Screens Use the Connect:Direct Send File (CDSND) screens to send a file to a remote node.

FILESEP(number-of-file-separators) specifies the number of blank separator pages to be placed between each copy of the file printed. HOLD(*YES|*NO) specifies whether the file is to be held on the output queue until released by the user.
Receiving a File 55 If you receive a file from an ASCII platform using extended translation, you must specify in the FMSYSOPTS that the data type is binary. Refer to the IBM Sterling Connect:Direct Processes Web site at http://www.sterlingcommerce.com/documentation/processes/processhome.html for platform-specific SYSOPTS parameters.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide COMPRESS(*NO | *YES| *EXT | X\xx\ | C\cc\ ) specifies that the data is to be compressed, which reduces the amount of data transmitted as the file is copied from one node to another. The file is automatically decompressed at its destination unless DECOMP(*NO) is specified in TOSYSOPTS. Note: Compression is CPU-intensive. Its effectiveness is dependent on the data and line speed and should be used only if it benefits the installation.
Receiving a File 57 This data can be scanned for string matches. The extended compression window size affects how much virtual memory the extended compression routines use. Higher window size values use more memory but achieve greater compression. The valid values for this subparameter are 8–15, inclusive. The default value is *INITPARMS.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide den specifies the magnetic tape mode setting. The following table shows the values for the DEN parameter for 7- and 9-track tapes.

Glossary A Adjacent Node An adjacent node is an entry in the Network Map that defines a Sterling Connect:Direct node with which the local Sterling Connect:Direct node can communicate. The adjacent node is also referred to as a remote node. Application Program Interface (API) The Application Program Interface (API) is a Sterling Connect:Direct component that accepts commands and places them in an executable format. Asynchronous Asynchronous Process execution occurs when the system starts the job.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide I Integrated File System The integrated file system provides an integrated structure of all stored information. This file system provides stream files, directory structure accessed by path, and a user and application interface that accesses all information stored in the i5/OS. L Local Node The local node is the Sterling Connect:Direct server on which the Process is submitted.
necessarily be interpreted as the sending node, since PNODE can be the receiver. In every Process, there is one local (PNODE) and one remote (SNODE) specified. The submitter of a Process is always the PNODE. Process A Process is a series of statements that initiate Sterling Connect:Direct activity, such as copying files, and running jobs.
IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide S Secondary Node (SNODE) The remote or secondary node (SNODE) is the Sterling Connect:Direct node that interacts with the primary node (PNODE) during Process execution. SNODE may also be referred to as the participating (non-controlling) or partner node. Every Process has one PNODE and one SNODE. Session Manager (SMGR) The session manager component executes the Sterling Connect:Direct Processes.
Timer Queue (TIMER) This Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS component provides timer services to the other components. The process manager submits and controls the TIMER. The TIMER is always present when Sterling Connect:Direct is active.
