Hello. I have a question about the &OUTPRC statement I have copied from an NDM SCRIPT. This script is transmitting a file from mainframe to server (KYLOUFSU01).

SUBMIT PROC=NDMUNIX -
CASE=YES -
SNODE=CDWRCH00 -
&PROCESS=XREFNDM -
NEWNAME=&PROCESS -
&INDSN=LNXT.NBDEVU8.RI.SRT -
&INDISP=SHR -
OUTDSN='\\KYLOUFSU01\SHARED\GLOBAL\LASON\XREF_RI.TXT' -
&OUTPRC=\"CMD(KYLOU2HOST.VBS)ARGS(&OUTDSN)" \ -
&OUTDISP=RPL
SIGNOFF

Is this script executing a Visual Basic Script (on the server) upon completion of the transmission ? If so, has anyone done this ? If so, can someone send me a sample of the VBS script ?

Thanks...

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Is there some reason you cannot ask the people who receive the file about how the file is processed on the receiving system?

What does the Connect Direct documentation say?

If your organization is licensed to use the product, the manual should be available for free from the Sterling support site.

I have in my possession the following PDF's (both from Sterling Software): CDProcessConceptsGuide & CDProcessStatementsGuide.
Neither document discusses this option nor gives an example.

Rest assured I am continuing to reach out to Subject Matter Experts within my company as well as availing myself of all available resources. Wishing however, to cover all my bases, I was hoping to get an answer from someone on this forum who has done this before.

Thank you for your response

Hi Patrick,

We have some forum members/moderators who have extensive experience with NDM.

Unfortunately, i'm not one of them and it will probably be a while before they log in (the ones i'm fairly sure of are on Eastern time).

From what i've been able to find in the last little while, &OUTPRC is a symbol that was defined locally. It is not an NDM "reserved word" (as far as i can tell).
