This parameter defines the files to be transferred without actually performing the file transfer request. This parameter is used only when directory transfers are performed, and is ignored for non-directory transfer requests.
When this parameter is set to
YES, all of the information about the transfer is extracted. Instead of executing the transfer, a message that indicates the local and remote files to be processed is written. When this parameter is set to
NO, transfers are performed.
Note: Note: The
DIRTEST parameter requires the
WAIT=YES definition. In addition, it returns file names only when the request is queued via cross memory by using
SERVER=taskname; if the request is queued via TCPIP or SNA, no file names are returned.
