Script Interface

The platform server provides a batch script interface with which you can use Job Control Language (JCL) to queue transactions to the platform server for z/OS.

By using the control statements, you can perform a wide variety of functions to determine whether the requests are successful. You can perform a single file transfer or multiple file transfers within one job step. In addition, you can perform validation on each transfer to let the script determine the next step to perform.

The platform server batch script interface uses the platform server Batch interface to actually perform the file transfer requests. See Batch Interface for information on the statements required to perform a file transfer.
