Connect:Direct for VM/ESA Copy Statement

Edit online

The COPY statement copies CMS (Conversational Monitor System) files, a set of CMS files, a Group of files, and VSAM files between nodes.

The COPY statement contains a FROM parameter that specifies the source file name and a TO parameter that specifies the destination file name. You can specify additional parameters to customize the file transfer.

To copy from one IBM® Connect:Direct® system environment to another, refer to the appropriate COPY FROM and TO sections for those environments. For example, if the source file is located on Connect:Direct for HP NonStop, refer to the Connect:Direct for HP NonStop COPY FROM information. If the destination file is on Connect:Direct for VM/ESA, refer to the VM/ESA COPY TO information.

The following is the Connect:Direct for VM/ESA COPY statement format. Refer to Sterling Connect:Direct for VM/ESA Process Parameters for more information.
