ISSUE SEND

Conditions: FUNCERR, IGREQCD, INVREQ, SELNERR, UNEXPIN

Description

ISSUE SEND sends data to a named data set in an outboard controller, or to a selected medium in a batch logical unit or an LUTYPE4 logical unit. The options CONSOLE, PRINT, CARD, and WPMEDIA1–4 are alternatives to DESTID and DESTIDLENG.

Options

CARD: specifies that the output medium is a card reader or card punch device. This option is not valid with DESTID and DESTIDLENG.
CONSOLE: specifies that the output medium is that provided for messages to the operator. This option is not valid with DESTID and DESTIDLENG. This refers to a programmable subsystem such as the IBM® 3790 data communication system. It does not refer to a CICS® or system console.
DEFRESP: specifies that all terminal control commands issued as a result of the ISSUE SEND command request a definite response from the outboard batch program, irrespective of the specification of message integrity for the CICS task (by the system programmer).
DESTID(data-value): specifies the name (1–8 characters) of the data set in the outboard destination.
DESTIDLENG(data-value): specifies the length (halfword binary value) of the name specified in the DESTID option.
FROM(data-area): specifies the data to be written to the data set.
LENGTH(data-value): specifies a halfword binary value that is the length of the data to be written.
NOWAIT: specifies that the CICS task continues processing without waiting for the ISSUE SEND command to complete. If this option is not specified, the task activity is suspended until the command is completed.
PRINT: specifies that the output is to the print medium.
SUBADDR(data-value): specifies the medium subaddress as a halfword binary value (in the range 0–15) that allows media of the same type, for example, “printer 1” or “printer 2”, to be defined. Value 15 means a medium of any type. The default is zero.
VOLUME(data-value): specifies the name (1–6 characters) of a diskette in an outboard destination that contains the data set specified in the DESTID option.
VOLUMELENG(data-value): specifies the length of the name specified in the VOLUME option as a halfword binary value.
WPMEDIA1 through WPMEDIA4: specifies that for each specific LUTYPE4 device, a word processing medium is defined to relate to a specific input/output device.

Conditions

48 FUNCERR

occurs if there is an error during execution of the command. Destination selection is unaffected and other commands for the same destination may be successful.
