Receiving files from the host

Rocket TE has the ability to transfer files to and from the PC and the host system. During the transfer, Rocket TE performs the file translation between the ASCII (PC) and EBCDIC (Host) character sets. Rocket TE supports Write Structured fields file transfers as well as screen-based file transfers.

This procedure assumes that you have already configured IND$FILE transfer to meet your file transfer requirements. For more information on configuring IND$FILE transfer, refer to Configuring IND$FILE transfer setup.

From the Rocket TE mainframe display, click Transfer → Receive.
The Host File Transfer - Receive window opens.
In the Local Files pane, select the location where you want to receive the host file. By default, this is the \Transfer folder.
In the Host Files pane, select the file you want to receive. If no files are displayed, click Refresh.
Note: If you selected the TSO host system type during configuration, your session must be at a READY prompt or the ISPF command shell. If it is not, you cannot view the host files and you will receive an error when you click Refresh.
From the menu bar, select Transfer → Receive or click the Receive icon in the center pane.
Note: To receive multiple files, see Creating and saving transfer lists.
