If the commands described in "Commands to use under VM/CMS" in topic 12.2.3 did not work, check that the IND$FILE EXEC is available at your installation.

GDF data files must be converted into PIF files before they can be sent from GDDM to the workstation. There are four components in the procedure for transferring and converting the files:

The SEND and RECEIVE commands that are issued at the workstation.
These commands generate the IND$FILE command on the current host session, with the first parameter set to either PUT or GET.
The IND$FILE EXEC that is issued at the host (GDDM).
This EXEC controls the file transfer program and the conversion utility (see below).
The IND$FILE file transfer command.
The GDF conversion utility, which converts GDDM ADMGDF object files to PIF files, and conversely.

Of these four components, the SEND and RECEIVE commands are described in the GDDM User's Guide. The other components are described in greater detail below.
