XMIT

This TSO command allows you to transmit data sets in case the CPUs are not connected with a DASD

The XMIT or TRANSMIT can be used to invoke this program

DESTINATION.USERID is the JES node name or number and the user UID on the destination system that will receive the data set.

DSNAME('data set name') is the data set to be transmitted

MEMBERS(member.name) is an optional parameter used when needing to select a member of a PDS

In the example below the destination system is DTB, the user who will receive the data set is IBMUSER. The data set being transmitted is SCRIPTS.JCL and more specifically the TEST member

XMIT DTB.IBMUSER DSNAME('SCRIPTS.JCL') MEMBERS(TEST)

Without specifying the MEMBERS parameter, the entire PDS would have been sent over.

After pressing enter the command is invoked and does the work in the background.

The highest severity code being 0 means that the transmission was successful.

The other end of the line will need to issue the RECEIVE command.

This command uses IEBCOPY under the hood
