I am submitting like this

Code:

  SIGNON CASE=YESS USERID=<myID,pwd>
  SUBMIT PROC=GETTXTFL    -
     SNODE=unixservername -
     &PDSN=mainframe file -
     &SDSN='/storage/report.txt' -
  SIGNOFF


GETTXTFL PROC code is as follows
Code:

GETTXTFL PROCESS  -
STEP01 COPY  -
FROM(SNODE  -
  DSN=&SDSN -
  DISP=SHR -
 )COMPRESS EXT -
TO(PNODE -
  DSN=&PDSN -
  SYSOPTS=":DATATYPE=TEXT:XLATE=NO:STRIP.BLANKS=NO" -
  DCBINOF='DCB=(DSORG=PS, RECFM=U)' -
  DISP=RPL,CATLG,DELETE)
EXIT


I am getting this error,
Code:

 LONG TEXT =>  When using the SUBmit command OUTSIDE the process the keyword 'PROC'     
                 or 'DSN' must be specified. Other valid optional command       
                 keywords:'HOLD', 'NEWNAME', 'PNODE', 'PRTY', 'RETAIN',         
                 'SNODE', 'CLASS', 'STARTT', and symbolic parameter values     
                 (designated by '&' as a prefix) are valid.
               
SYSTEM ACTION: Return to invoker with RC=8

RESPONSE: Reenter your SUBmit command using only the keywords listed above. check PROCess statement keyword.


Can you tell where I am using wrong keywords ?

Thanks,
Raju

Did you cut-and-paste that text ?

There are 2 errors:
1. YESS should be YES
2. the line with "&SDSN" should not have a continuation character (the minus at the end).

Thanks for the immediate reply,

Actually those two are typo. I didn't cut pasted.

1. CASE=YES
2. I didn't put continuation character after &SDSN in my original file

Well, when you get your ACTUAL text here we may be able to look at it.

Nic,

My Actual program calls DMBATCH uses SUBMIT proc which internally calls GETTXTFL PROC

Code:

ADDRESS ISREDIT "MACRO"
Address TSO
"Allocate DDN(TSOLIB) SHR REUSE DSN(' my tso lib pds ')"
"Allocate DDN(DMNETMAP) SHR REUSE DSN(' my netmap ')"
"Allocate DDN(DMMSGFIL) SHR REUSE DSN(' my msgfil lib ')"
"Allocate DDN(DMPUBLIB) SHR REUSE DSN(' my DMPUBLIB ')"
"Allocate DDN(SYSIN) SHR REUSE DSN(' PS file with SUbmit Proc ')"
"Allocate DDN(DMPRINT) SHR REUSE DSN(' output report file ')"
Address ISPEXEC "SELECT PGM(DMBATCH) PARM('YYLLYNN')"
if rc=0 then
say "your file transferred"
"FREE FI(DMNETMAP DMPRINT TSOLIB )"
"FREE FI(DMMSGFIL DMPUBLIB SYSIN DMPRINT)"
EXIT


Submit PROC
Code:
  SIGNON CASE=YES USERID=<myID,pwd>
  SUBMIT PROC=GETTXTFL    -
     SNODE=unixservername -
     &PDSN=mainframe file -
     &SDSN='/storage/report.txt'
  SIGNOFF


GETTXTFL proc
Code:

GETTXTFL PROCESS  -
STEP01 COPY  -
FROM(SNODE  -
  DSN=&SDSN -
  DISP=SHR -
 )COMPRESS EXT -
TO(PNODE -
  DSN=&PDSN -
  SYSOPTS=":DATATYPE=TEXT:XLATE=NO:STRIP.BLANKS=NO" -
  DCBINOF='DCB=(DSORG=PS, RECFM=U)' -
  DISP=RPL,CATLG,DELETE)
EXIT

I see that it is an ISPF edit macro that kicks all this off. Is the file being transferred the one being edited? Has this exact process been used before or is this the first time and you are debugging it?

Nic,

This is program logic but not the file being transferred.
I want to get this file '/storage/report.txt' from UNIX to the mainframe.

BTW, this program works when I copy mainframe file to UNIX. I am facing RC=8 when I tried to copy a file from UNIX to mainframe.

I think, I made a mistake in the PROC GETTXTFL. But unable to find out !

when i used the interactive c:d
i could either
sign-on to a tso session of the source node
and push the file to the destination

or sign-on to a tso session of the destination node
and pull the file to the destination.

soooooo,
you said:
you can send the file from mf to unix

why don't you receive the file on the mf from the unix?
thereby triggering a 'new' file on mf to start a task

You are correct mate.
I am able to push the file from mainframe to UNIX.
but I am not able to pull the file from UNIX to mainframe.

As UNIX is creating the file without asking the file attributes, I am able to push the file. But I have to provide DCB info while creating the file in mainframe( Am I wrong here ? is it necessary to give DCB info?). I have tried several time by modifying the DCB info in SUBMIT proc. But I am unable to pull the file from UNIX.

i found with c:d,
anytime i transferred a file from one op-sys to another,
it was just easier to
create (via mod in a iefbr14) the file
then overwrite with the c:d
and did not bother cluttering up my control cards with dcb garbage
it was easier to control the dcb parms on the iefbr14 step.
but thats me.

Are you recommend me to use IEFBR14 utility in SUBMIT PROC ? Can you explain me in detail?

Can you share me any ebooks which include C : D with IEFBR14

explanation of iefbr14

in the iefbr14 step, have a dd for your 'destination file'
which will be overwritten (replaced) by the d:c step.
i always use DISP=(MOD,CATLG,DELETE)
and
the appropriate dcb parms.

then when the d:c step runs,
the file is cateloged and can be found by the d:c task.

you do realize a successful outcome of your batch c:d step
means
that all you have done
is hang a request on the input queue
for the c:d started task
that actually performs the transfer,
which
depending on the load of your system in general
and c:d stated task in particular,
(and who is tasked with support) icon_razz.gif
can be seemingly simultaneous with the end of your batch job
or hoooouurrrrsss later.

I found two mistakes in the GETTXTFL.

I misplaced the keyword "EXIT" in column 1. I didn't added "HOLD=NO".
Now I corrected both mistakes
1. EXIT keyword moved to column 3
2. HOLD=NO added as a row 2 in GETTXTFL

So now the RC=0. But file did not copied to the mainframe.
I have checked NDMCMDS log, no error message. It says "successful".
Do we need to allocate the file manually by ALLOCATE command OR will it be allocated by C : D during copying process?

Have you checked the CDLOG of the started task? You have only checked your batch job - the actual transfer, as you have already been told, is done by the started task (possibly called NDM) and may occur somewhat later than the end of your job. Your job only asks NDM to do the transfer - it does not wait for the transfer to be done. The log for the actual transfer is recorded in CDLOG of the NDM started task.

Nic,

Yes, I have added this code & verified NDM log too
Code:
"Allocate DDN(NDMCMDS) SHR REUSE DSN('*')"


This log is combined log of NDM & CD. I have used "TRACE R" in my REXX CODE.

If it says RC=0 then it must have created something on the mainframe. It's not as simple as the target mainframe file inheriting your TSO DI prefix as the HLQ is it?
