Requirements and Restrictions

Install the file transfer program, IND$FILE, on your host system. Ask your system administrator for additional file transfer procedures and precautions. An alternate host command name can be used by defining a DOS environment variable IND_FILE in AUTOEXEC.BAT or in a particular DOS box. For example:

  SET IND_FILE = MYXFER

You should not use the following words as a VM file name or file type, as an MVS data set name, or as a CICS file name, because they are reserved for use as option commands.

ASCII, APPEND, TIME, CLEAR, NOCLEAR, SILENT, QUIET, PROGRESS,
BLANK, CRLF, BINARY, NOCRLF

If you want to send to or receive from a subdirectory other than \Z and I Emulator for Windows, you must specify the full path name.
