Use the VM SENDFILE command: SENDFILE fn ft fm TO user AT zos On the z.OS side, use the TSO RECEIVE command to receive the file.
SENDFILE takes the original file and encodes it to fit into a series of 80 byte cards, carrying enough metadata to reassemble the file in it's original form on the receiving system. This intermediate format (called NETDATA in the the NJE spec) is sent through the NJE network to the receiving system and is placed in spool. The RECEIVE command (both on VM and TSO) reads the file from spool, looks at the first 3 or 4 records and detects a flag that says "I'm in NETDATA format". If that flag is present, RECEIVE reassembles the file to the original format and puts into the file you specified on the RECEIVE command. This approach might work for jobs too — older z/OS systems didn't understand NETDATA for jobs, so I gave you the "VM Classic" approach for that. I think newer z/Oses might understand it now; but… Jobs still have to be virtual cards on VM… Note if you have NJE code installed on your Suns or Linuxen, etc, this works great for dispatching work on them too….
