2: BSCTRAN Commands and Options
DC 900-1406E 41
2.7 SEND Command
The SEND command has the following format:
SEND filename link# server[_ICP#] [/DTIME=h:m:s]
[/BINARY]
[/TRANS] [/CARD] [/NOTEOF]
The SEND command sends the file (filename) for transmission on the link (link#) of the
ICP board (
ICP#).
Upon receiving a
SEND command, the BSC File Transfer program will open the file,
accumulate the file records into blocks (maximum block size determined by the
DEFAULT /BUFSIZE option) without splitting records, and send the blocks to the ICP for
transmission to the remote station.
BSCTRAN will display the state changes of the file transfer with the following state-
ments:
spot_1_2: 10-APR-1989 10:40:08.78 Sending TXT.TEST
spot_1_2: 10-APR-1989 10:40:09.40 Send Complete TXT.TEST=18 Records
The SEND command options are as follows:
/DTIME=h:m:s This option is the timeout specification (default time is 1
minute). This is the maximum time that BSCTRAN will wait
for the ICP to respond with a data acknowledgment after each
block is sent. If timeout occurs, BSCTRAN will abort or return
the user to the BSC prompt, depending on the setting of the
global
DEFAULT /ABORT option.
/BINARY This option sends each record separately to the ICP, without
inserting a record separator character. This option is normally
used with the
/TRANS option for sending transparent 3780 data.
