Appendix D. File Name Tokens
File name tokens are a feature of the platform server. You can use this feature when communicating between any combination of z/OS, Windows and UNIX platform servers.
Given a string of tokens, which are characters containing a mixture of literal and substitution parameters, z/OS, Windows and UNIX platform servers can generate formatted file names that you can use to create or read file names based upon such tokens as date, time, and user.
Instead of entering a standard file name, you enter a name that consists of tokens. See the following topics for more information.
- File Name Tokens List: lists the available tokens when a Windows or UNIX system is sending files that z/OS supports.
- Examples of Using the File Name Tokens: provides examples that demonstrate how to use file name tokens.
- Rules for Using the File Name Tokens: lists the rules that you must follow when using the file name tokens.
Tokens are specified by a dollar sign ($) followed by the token name in parentheses. For example, $(LocalFileName).
Additional tokens are available for remote file names when a z/OS platform server is initiating a request to a platform server for Windows or platform server for UNIX. For more information, see TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for UNIX User's Guide or TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for Windows User's Guide.
