REMOTE_FILE={remote_file_name}
| Default | None |
| Allowable Values | Any combination of up to 255 characters (including embedded spaces). The file name must be enclosed in double quotation marks if it contains embedded spaces. |
| Minimum | 1 character |
| Maximum | 255 characters |
| Alternate Specification | RF, RFILE, RDSN |
This parameter defines the name of the file on the remote system that is the subject of the activity (the name of the file on the remote computer). The file name can include any combination of up to 255 characters (including embedded spaces) as long as it is a valid name on the remote system. If the remote file name contains embedded spaces, the file name must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
If a file name goes past column 71 of the batch SYSIN file, you must place a continuation mark in column 72 (non-blank character) and start the next line in column 1. This can be repeated to go on to a third or fourth line, if necessary.
TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS supports you to specify a directory as the remote file name by ending the remote file name with a backslash (\). If this is the case, the host dataset name is appended to the remote file name. Therefore, the host dataset name becomes the file name in the directory specified as the remote file name.
For example, you are sending a file from the host to the PC, and
DSN=PROD.SALES.A0405 and
REMOTE_FILE=C:\SALES\ are specified. The PC file name will be
C:\SALES\ PROD.SALES.A0405.
