Your 3780 communication programs can be automated through the use of command files. Here are samples of real command files (CMD files) that are being used in the field...You can use a text editor (like Microsoft's EDIT or Notepad programs, VEDIT is also good) to create your command file(s). Note that there are no extra lines between the command lines.

Tip for sending files: If you are sending data to the Host Mainframe and the Mainframe expects to see the data as one single file, followed by another file, use the optional (NOEOT) modifier after the file name on the .SEND command line. For example, .SEND,FILENAME.DAT (NOEOT). In other words, the (NOEOT) option tells the remote system that you are not finished sending files. If you have data in more then one file, but the Host Mainframe wants to see the data as a single file, use the (NOETX) optional modifier after the file name. For example, .SEND,FILENAME.DAT (NOETX). The (NOETX) modifier is a way to concatenate a second file to the first file (the one with the NOETX). If you use (NOETX) on the last file you send, the remote will not see the end of file marker and will expect you to be sending more data.

Tip for receiving files: If you are receiving multiple files from the Host Mainframe and you want to receive each file as a separate file, then you just specify the receive command as .RCVE,HostFile and you will receive files starting with hostfile.000, hostfile.001, etc. However, if you want to receive all of the incoming files as a single file, you would use the (NOETX) modifier. In other words, the (NOETX) modifier expect another file and append it to the first file. For example, .RCVE, hostfile (NOETX). You could use (NOETX) if you are receiving, for example a .MESSAGE...LOGON...(NOETX), followed by a .MESSAGE, $$REQ... would be valid. More on Receive [RCVE] Command.

Note: Use these optional modifiers on commands sparingly. The basic .SEND and .RCVE commands themselves are designed to be used WITHOUT OPTIONAL MODIFIERS 95% of the time. DO NOT USE the above OPTIONS UNLESS YOUR SPECIFIC TESTS SHOW THAT THE SPECIFIC OPTIONAL MODIFIER IS REQUIRED.

Basic Send Command	Basic Receive Command
.call,1-810-433-1234 .message,/*signon rmtxxx mbaoa4l .send,testnews.inq .exit	.CALL,7,1-248-373-1234 .MESSAGE,/*SIGNON RMT198 NTESD02K .RCVE,\EDS\IN\INFILE .EXIT

Here are samples of real command files (CMD files) that are being used in the field...You can use a text editor (like Microsoft's EDIT or Notepad programs, VEDIT is also good) to create your command file(s). Note that there are no extra lines between the command lines.

.WAIT [See Note #1]
.RCVE,<filename>
.EXIT

.CALL,<telephone number>
.SEND,<filename> [you use .SENDB for sending a binary file - like an Excel or Lotus123 or Word file]
.EXIT

Note #1: If you are using the Hayes Optima Business modem, the .WAIT command MUST be used for establishing an auto-answer session. One reason for this is the Hayes' default start-up has auto-answer disabled. Another reason is the need to handle the AutoSync protocol initialization after the phone call has come in.

TARGET (Dayton-Hudson) CONNECT MAILBOX (This particular Host System has several different .CMD files depending upon your requirements). Your logon data (using the .message command) is CASE SENSITIVE - be careful. And spacing is very important too.

Target- RECEIVE COMMAND	Target - SEND COMMAND
.CALL,1010288-1-612-304-XXXX .MESSAGE,$$REQ ID=YOURID BLOCK=06 .RCVE,C:\TARGET\IN\TAR-IN .EXIT	.CALL,1010288-1-612-304-XXXX .MESSAGE,$$ADD ID=YOURID BID='COMPANYNAME' BLOCK=06 .SEND,C:\TARGET\OUT\TAR-OUT .EXIT

Sometimes, a particular Host may have very old V.32 9,600 baud modems that will not train with the newer V.34+ 33,600 bps modem tones. Therefore, it will be necessary to send your modem a special Hayes "AT" command string as shown below to slow your modem up to a lower speed. (Note - this AT option works in the DOS version of 3780, not the Windows version).	Codes for lowering speeds:
ATS37=9 .CALL,1-XXX-XXX-XXXX .MESSAGE, - LOGON-JCL - .SEND,SENDFILE .EXIT	9,600 = 9 14,400 = 11 19,200 = 11 24,000 = 28 28,800 = 15

Chrysler Financial Corporation (CFC) through the CTX System

Command File for Chrysler Financial Corporation

The .SEND command File also uses the .NOIRS command modifier that takes out the Inter Record Separator (Hex 1E character) after each record sent. Reference: Dave Sandel from Plaza Associates.

General Motors BARS (Billing and Accounts Receivable System)

.CALL,1-248-370-XXXX
.MESSAGE,*LOGONID/PASSWORD (NOETX NOIRS)
.SEND,BARSOUT.005
.RCVE,RCVFILE
.EXIT

In this case, the NOETX and NOIRS is appropriate since another file is being sent and the NOETX will cause the remote to see the two commands (.message and .send) as if they were part of a single file. The NOETX says do not send either an ETX (End of Text) or an EOT (End of Transmission) protocol to the remote system. The NOIRS says do not send an IRS (Inter Record Separator) protocol characters to the remote system.

General Motors - EDS/ELIT

EDS EDI Oriented Command File

EDS.DAT File - part of EDS.CMD File on left

Sample Command File that sends to Host the JCL:

.MULT_RECS, OFF
.CALL,9,1-972-XXX-XXXX
.SEND,C:\3780\EDS.DAT (NOETX)
.SEND,C:\3780\EDS\EDSOUT.TXT
.RCVE,ACK
.EXIT

Some of the JCL file that is provided to you by the Host Mainframe Administrator is shown at the right>

Note: Most Mainframes only require you to send a Login ID and Password - not an actual Job Control Language file as shown here..

/SIGNON RMTXXX
//EANCMMCM JOB (CADRKX,COM),'RETRIEVE APPL DATA',CLASS=X,MSGCLASS=L
/*OUTPUT RCS DEST=(NOPRINT)
//*LOGONID SCRC
//*
//JS010 EXEX PGM=TUSDAAW
// REGION=1024K
//SYSUT2 DD DSN= TAMMR.JNAEP.RM OCNADA(+1)
// DISP=(NEW,CAATLG,CATG),
// UNIT=(PERMDA,9),
// SPACCE=(10796,(900,480),ESLR),

etc.

Another Command File example where the necessary JCL is part of the .MESSAGE:

.CALL,1-248-xxx-xxxx (RETRIES 15 ERROR 99)
.MESSAGE,/*SIGNON RMTxxx SMBAOA4L IXB
20.RCVE,F:\EDI_IN
.IF, NOT LIMIT THEN .GOTO 20
99.EXIT

Note: Many hosts mainframes require a certain number of spaces between data contained in the JCL.

Sometimes, the Hayes AutoSync Modem seems to "hang." Here is one possible Command File to handle this type of situation:

     .ECHO    [NAME OF HOST CONNECT]
10 .CALL,1-xxx-xxxx (RETRIES 10 ERROR 99)
      .IF,ANSWERTONE .GOTO 20
      .DTR,OFF
      .DELAY,30
      .DTR,ON
      .DELAY,10
    .GOTO 10
20 .SEND,LOGON.TXT
    .RCVE,INFILE
99 .EXIT

Actual Customer "Problem" Solution

"Problem"

I need some help with how to best program the command file to receive files. Depending on what time we call, we may have 0 to 5 report files waiting. My question is, how can I program the script file so the receive attempts do not appear like an error if nothing is there for me to pick up. John Ward, Golden America Life Insurance Co.

Solution
(for this particular Host interface)

10.CRLF,IRS ON
20.CALL,1-XXX-XXX-XXXX
30.SEND,LOGON.TXT
40.RCVE,CONFIRM
50.IF, NOT LIMIT THEN .GOTO 40
60.EXIT

"Sometimes Problem"

(with NFS mapped Drives)

To CTI: Thought I better update you on the status of this problem. After your last e-mail, I changed the .cmd file to output the received file to the PC’s C: drive instead of to the mapped NFS drive. We ran NFS Gateway product.

Solution

You haven’t eliminated AIX as part of the problem. FastSync 3780 uses the old Int 21h functions to write files. It is possible that Windows is screwing up when it processes the int 21h function calls going through your network. Your best bet might be to always receive to the local drive and then (in the command file) use the command:

.DOS, COPY @LAST_FILE DestinationFileName

.DOS Creates a DOS shell for executing DOS commands or programs while still on line with the remote computer.

LAST_FILE = FileName This expression will evaluate to TRUE if FileName is the name of the last file successfully received from the remote system.
