This page has been modified to reflect changes to our XMT facility.
The following changes have been incorporated into XMT:
- The ability to produce an index of the members being transmitted. This is ignored for sequential files. This index member can be kept in the original dataset or deleted after transmitting has been completed.
- The ability to produce a log of the actions taken by XMT. This can be written to a file, displayed on the screen, or not generated at all.
- The ability to add a message to the transmission file or files. In the case of multiple files, the same message will be attached to all files.
- The ability to suppress the IEBCOPY output usually generated by the IBM TRANSMIT command. You can specify the output class to write these messages to, if this is a 'throw away' output class then the output will be lost.
- Comments and blank lines are now allowed in the dataset list files.
- The full name of the output file is now displayed, and the suffix used changed to XMI.
- For a dataset list, datasets that are unqualified will be prefixed with the userid of the user executing XMT.
- For a dataset list, any dataset with the high-level qualifier of USERID() will have the USERID() replaced with the userid of the user executing XMT.
- For source libraries, a filter facility has been added to enable the members to be filtered by who last updated, the last modification date.
The best way of transferring datasets between z/OS systems (or indeed down to any ASCII platform) is to transmit them using either the IBM TRANSMIT program, or the user written SUPERXMT program
The IBM TRANSMIT comes delivered with the z/OS system. Every site has it, but it may be protected by a security system (RACF, ACF2 etc.)
SUPERXMT is a user written transmission program and it is freely available from the CBT tape in file 830 or our own version of SUPERXMT which is available from here.
The CBT tape website is available here or by clicking on the CBT logo on the right-hand side menu.
If you just want to grab SUPERXMT it is available from here.
Regardless of which is your chosen transmit program the XMT facility should work without any user changes needing to be made.
The first time the XMT facility is run it will look for SUPERXMT program and if it finds it, it will use it, if it doesn't find SUPERXMT, it will use the IBM TRANSMIT program. Future runs will use whichever program it found.
If, at a later date, you install SUPERXMT you can make the XMT facility search again for the program to use.
To perform the rescan simply code:
