AVMPUSH accepts a JCL parameter to direct its activities as follows:
EXEC PGM=AVMPUSH,PARM=’<a>,<b>[,<c>]’ Default is ‘Y,Y,Y’
-
<a> is Y by default or you can set N. Y means that AVMPUSH is to create and navigate to a directory named tgt<nnnnnnnn>.ready before other FTP commands. N means that it will not do that. Providing you include an FTP ‘cd’ command to point to the Control Center input work area, this directory name is the correct for Control Center to utilize your data without having to retrieve it from any other location.
-
<b> is Y by default or you can set N. Y means that AVMPUSH is to generate an FTP ‘quit’ command at the end of the file, and N means it will not.
-
<c> is optional and is Y by default or you can set N. Y means that AVMPUSH will generate an FTP ‘put’ command for a dataset name. For example,
put ‘MY.ZVM.DATA’
+(Windows file name)
N means it will generate an FTP ‘put’ command for a DDNAME. The purpose of this is to allow users who write Acquire output to tape to retain the volume on a drive instead of having z/OS dismount it and then have to remount it to be used by FTP. For example,
put DD:AVMDATA +
(Windows file name)
