Connect:Direct file paths specified with a double forward slash
If, as part of a file transfer, you specify a file located on a Connect:Direct® node by using a file path that starts with a double forward slash (//), the file is treated as a data set.
Sources and destinations on a Connect:Direct node are specified
in the format cd_node_name:file_path
.
If the file_path
starts with a
double forward slash (//), the source or destination is treated as
a data set. This is the case even when the Connect:Direct node is not on z/OS®. This can cause transfer failures
if the file path is accidentally specified with a double forward slash
(//) at the start and the file is not a data set.
Ensure that
you do not specify a file_path
that
starts with a double forward slash (//) if you do not want the file
that you specify to be treated as a data set.
