Sending files to the host

Rocket TE has the ability to transfer files to and from the PC and the host system. During the transfer, Rocket TE will perform 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 the IND$FILE transfer to meet your file transfer requirements. For more information on configuring IND$FILE transfer, refer to Configuring IND$FILE transfer setup.

  1. From the Rocket TE mainframe display, click Transfer Send.
    The Host File Transfer - Send window opens.
  2. In the Local Files pane, navigate to the desired file and select it.
  3. In the Host Files pane, select the host file that you want to send the local file to. 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.
  4. From the menu bar, select TransferSend or click the Send icon in the center pane.
    Note: To send multiple files, see Creating and saving transfer lists.
