Subject: Re: How Submit a JOB from Z/VM to Z/OS using RSCS ?
To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU
We created some REXX exec to make it possible for pipeline data to be sent to
MVS in a job (that is, not need to pass b-via a CMS file: we transform the data
into a NETDATA format, put JCL before & after and run TSO in batch to receive
it.
If you want it, I can dig it up.

Thanks, Hank!
There's no sense in my re-posting your whole idea of submitting z/OS jobs
via FTP from z/VM to z/OS.
Here's another way that can be used...
After a very, very old and pretty much unsupported Network Systems
HyperChannel box failed of extended old age, I was forced to find way to
send very large (in terms of LRECL and of the sheer number of records)
from CMS to z/OS JES2 SPOOL. RSCS didn't cut it although it works fine
for most output).
So I converted an existing EXEC to create the requisite JCL (getting the
password from the user's NETRC DATA file; I sure wish there as a better
way to do that!), FTPs the batch job to z/OS, then wait for the batch job
to end before exiting. The z/OS batch job establishes an FTP connection
back to z/VM (using the VM userid and password from that NETRC DATA file -
uuuugllleeee!), and "GET"s the file for output directly to JES2 SPOOL.
When the job ends, the NOTIFY message is sent by JES2 to the submitting
z/VM user running the exec. The exec traps the reply (and return code),
ending with an appropriate message to the user.
Not being a z/OS JCL super-expert, it took a bit of digging around to get
all the moving parts aligned, but the result has been terrific. We can
now send those very large print files from z/VM to z/OS for printing at
very high speed, even from VM:Batch (which require a bit more in the way
of local mods).
