Download Instructions
- Click on the above links to download the desired files to your PC.
-
Use
PKZIP,
WINZIP,
ZTreeWin
(or similar program) to decompress the files.
For those programs that run on the z/OS platform, the decompression process will yield a single file whose extension will be ".XMT" (example: SCHEDRUN.XMT). -
Upload the xxx.XMT file to your mainframe as a binary file, i.e. with
ASCII-to-EBCDIC translation turned OFF. Use IND $FILE, FTP, or your
workstation program's File Transfer Facility, to perform the upload.
The DCB attributes for the upload file must be RECFM=FB, LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=n*80. -
Use TSO's RECEIVE command (not to be confused with SMP/E's RECEIVE command) to
restore the transmit file into its original PDS library structure as follows:
- Go to TSO's READY prompt or to ISPF's TSO Command Shell (option =6).
- Type the following command: "RECEIVE INDSN(dsname)" where "dsname" is the name of the file that was uploaded.
-
The RECEIVE command will display a message file that you may or may not want to
read at this time. (You will have an opportunity to read it later.) The last two
messages displayed will be:
INMR901I Dataset DBCOLE.EXPORT.name from ...
INMR906A Enter restore parameters or 'DELETE' or 'END' +
To restore the file just press ENTER. This will cause the library to be restored to a dataset named "prefix.EXPORT.name" where "prefix" is your TSO session's current default high level qualifier for dataset names (usually your userid but can be changed via the PROFILE PREFIX(name) command). - If you prefer to restore to a different dsname, then when the INMR906A message is displayed, type DSNAME(name).
- For information about other possible options accepted by the INMR906A message, type a question mark before pressing ENTER.
- The restored library will contain a $$DOC member and/or a README member. Read these members for further instructions.
