## Examples

Example 1: Sending datasets to another z/OS system

In this example, the following files are defined to the z/OS system:

TEST.DATA.ACCT1

TEST.DATA.ACCT2008

TEST.DATA.ACCTPDS (contains members A, B, and C)

Specify the following parameters on a send file request:

`LFILE=TEST.DATA.*`

`RFILE=/tmp/data/`

`SUBDIR=YES`

Five file transfer requests are queued with the following local and remote files:

    LF=TEST.DATA.ACCT1
    RF=/tmp/data/ACCT1

    LF=TEST.DATA.ACCT2008
    RF=/tmp/data/ACCT2008

    LF=TEST.DATA.ACCTPDS(A)
    RF=/tmp/data/ACCTPDS.A

    LF=TEST.DATA.ACCTPDS(B)
    RF=/tmp/data/ACCTPDS.B

    LF=TEST.DATA.ACCTPDS(C)
    RF=/tmp/data/ACCTPDS.C

Example 2: Sending UNIX files to remote UNIX system

In this example, the following files are defined to the z/OS system:

/test/data/acct1

/test/data/acct2004

/test/data/acctpds/a

/test/data/acctpds/b

/test/data/acctpds/c

Specify the following parameters on a send file request:

`LFILE=/test/data/*`

`RFILE=/tmp/data/`

`SUBDIR=NO`.

Two file transfer requests are queued with the following local and remote files:

    LF=/test/data/acct1
    RF=/tmp/data/acct1

    LF=/test/data/acct2008
    RF=/tmp/data/acct2008

Example 3: Sending PDS members to remote UNIX system

In this example, the following members are in a PDS or PDSE file:

TEST.PDS(A1)

TEST.PDS(A2)

TEST.PDS(ABCD)

TEST.PDS(B1)

TEST.PDS(B2)

TEST.PDS(BCDE)

Specify the following parameters on a send file request:

`LFILE=TEST.PDS(A*)`

`RFILE=/tmp/data/`

`SUBDIR=NO`

Three file transfer requests are queued with the following local and remote files:

    LF=TEST.PDS(A1)
    RF=/tmp/data/A1

    LF=TEST.PDS(A2)
    RF=/tmp/data/A2

    LF=TEST.PDS(ABCD)
    RF=/tmp/data/ABCD

Example 4: Receiving files from remote UNIX system

In this example, the following files are in the remote UNIX system:

/tmp/data/acct1

/tmp/data/acct2007

/tmp/data/acct2008

/tmp/data/acct2009

/tmp/data/auditing/abc

/tmp/data/auditing/def

Specify the following parameters on a receive file request:

`LFILE=TEST.PDS( )`

`RFILE=/tmp/data/*`

`SUBDIR=NO`

Four file transfer requests are queued with the following local and remote files:

    LF=TEST.PDS(ACCT1)
    RF=/tmp/data/acct1
    LF=TEST.PDS(ACCT2007)
    RF=/tmp/data/acct2007
    LF=TEST.PDS(ACCT2008)
    RF=/tmp/data/acct2008
    LF=TEST.PDS(ACCT2009)
    RF=/tmp/data/acct2009
