Thanks, I overlooked the "interacting with JES topic". Looks like you can GET (receive) sysout but not PUT.
I suppose a worst case solution would be to wrap the output in JCL, where the JCL executes code to build LRECL=133 lines from instream data and then copy that to SYSOUT. We used to transfer files this way: run a job on system A, where the job takes the file and converts it into instream data, embeds it in a job it constructs, submits that job that routes to system B, where it executes and unloads the instream data back into a file. In fact, I still have the JCL for that trick using TSO XMIT as the conversion program, for sending data between systems that are only connected by JES (and you don't want to go to the remote system to receive the file.) To top that, I think I have a job that finds and collects a file and all of its dependencies, converts that all into instream data, builds and routes a job to a remote system, where it runs a program, takes the output files from that program, converts all of that, puts it into a job, routes it back to the original system, where the jobs runs and converts the files back and saves them! -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Lionel B Dyck Sent: Friday, September 22, 2023 3:32 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: TCP/IP to JES3 Try FTP with filetype=jes Lionel B.
