IBM Mainframe Forum

Hi,
I would like to get some help with this question.

I transferred several programs from a mainframe library (z/OS 01.11.00), but now, I want to do the opposite way and I don´t know how.

I tried all kind of IND$FILE configurations but the result is always an error.

Can anyone help me please ?

Best regards,

I'd say it looks like you have a missing or incorrect TSO data set name, but that's just a guess.

1. It is preferable that, instead of attaching screen captures, you copy and paste text, placing it between [ code ] and [ /code ] tags, thus:
   
   Select all

   INDFT017    Missing or incorrect TSO data set name; file transfer cancelled
2. Although you show the error message, you do not show the command that produced it. Please do so, as few of us can read minds.

Ok,

This is the example I'm using:

Did you try the F1 key when you got the message. The box suggests it. Have you double-checked your dataset name?

Yes. F1 key didn't help. The data set name is OK. I created for this propose. It is a library.

Missing parenthesis

where ?

Sorry, I got cut off. Before your options (so after your file name). I think, this was from googling.

You, as a user of IND$FILE, do not, repeat, do not, enter the command yourself. Rather, whatever file transfer mechanism your terminal emulator uses, enters the command on your behalf when it is ready to do a file transfer.. You should only do a file transfer when you have a TSO READY prompt (or VM/370 CMS READY; prompt) on your screen. I have occasionally had a successful transfer from ISPF option 6, but that was before the new style ISPF screens that sort of look like Windoze windows. Your terminal emulator will construct a valid IND$FILE command for you. Be sure you tell the terminal emulator whether you are using TSO or the CMS piece of VM/370; the command syntax is slightly different.
