##FD
##FD
Used within a job to include the contents of a file.
Syntax
##FD Infile [( Options )] [ Comment ]
Parameters
Infile Specifies the file whose contents are to be included.
This is any valid MPE file name. For both $STDIN and
$STDINX you must close with :EOD.
(Options ) Any combination of these:
N[OTRANSLATE]
T[RANSPARENT]
• NOTRANSLATE causes the FD file to be transmitted to
the host without translation.
• TRANSPARENT causes NRJE to ignore all JOB cards
in the ##FD and pass them to the host as data.
Otherwise, JOB cards in the ##FD file are treated as
job delimiters by NRJE. If this option is included,
the proper JCL must be included so that the host
also treats the JOB card as data. To use this option
you must be configured with NM capability.
If both
Options are specified, they must be separated
by a comma (,). If no options are specified, the default
will be file translation to EBCDIC and no transparency.
Comment Any character string following the closing parenthesis.
The
Comment becomes part of the prompting string
when the Infile is $STDIN or $STDINX.
Description
Use the ##FD command within a job to include the contents of the
Infile . ##FD files can be nested up to 20 levels deep. When a job file is
submitted, NRJE scans each record for occurrences of ##FD in columns
1–4. Whenever it finds one, it opens the
Infile and adds the contents
to the job being spooled for transmission to the host. Any options
specified must be compatible with the SUBMIT options and the
workstation configuration.
