INMR02 -- file utility control record

Each INMR02 record controls a data restoration step. In a given transmission, one or more processes represented by a corresponding number of INMR02 records are required. Utility operations currently supported are: INMCOPY, which converts sequential files to and from the TRANSMIT/RECEIVE format; IEBCOPY, which converts partitioned files to and from sequential files (called unloaded files); and AMSCIPHR, which invokes the Access Method Services REPRO command to encrypt and decrypt files.

If more than one INMR02 record is present, they appear in the order in which TRANSMIT processes them, which is the inverse of the order used by RECEIVE. The first record in the data stream represents the last utility operation to be performed by RECEIVE. The INMCOPY utility is always the last or the only utility invoked during a TRANSMIT operation, and as a result appears last in the file.

The text units that are in the INMR02 record describe the output of the utility operation. The input with which it must work is described by the previous INMR02-directed operation or by the INMR03 data description record.

If the transmission contains more than one file, one or more INMR02 records are required for each file in the transmission. The groups of INMR02 records are in the same order as the files in the transmission. The file number field identifies which of the multiple files in the transmission the control record applies.
