Record Type 59 (3B) — MVS/BDT File-to-File Transmission

Record type 59 is written when MVS/Bulk Data Transfer (MVS/BDT) completes a file-to-file transmission, and the connection to the next node is SNA. When the connection is BSC, BDT does not write the record; JES3 writes record type 57 instead. MVS/BDT writes record type 59 from the global node where the transaction is queued; it produces a record whether the transmission successfully completes.

The record contains sections for:

MVS/BDT product information
Transaction identification
File-to-file (FTF) information (transaction type section)
Network information (transaction type section)
Transaction data information (optional)
Transaction accounting information (optional)
Transmission information.

There are two 40-byte fields for user information at SMF59US1 (transaction data section) and SMF59US2 (transmission data section).

Macro to Symbolically Address JES3 Record Type 59: IFASMFR uses BDTDSMF, and MVS/BDT macro instructions to generate the mapping. If you want the record type 59 mapping, make sure that both IFASMFR and BDTDSMF reside on the same macro library. BDTDSMF is written in assembler language and is supplied on SYS1.AMODGEN.

MVS/BDT invokes the optional installation exit BDTUX24 before writing the record.
