Copy from Remote System to Local z/OS (in Binary)

Copy from Remote System to Local z/OS (in Binary) via Universal Copy​

The following figure illustrates the copying of a file from a remote system to a local z/OS system, in binary, with no end-of-line character interpretation.

//S1 EXEC UCMDPRC
//UNVOUT DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlg.output.file
//LOGONDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.userid(userid)
//SCRIPTDD DD *
@echo off
ucopy C:\INPUT.FILE
//SYSIN DD *
-script SCRIPTDD
-encryptedfile LOGONDD
-host dallas
-stdout -mode binary
/*

The JCL procedure UCMDPRC is used to execute the command. The command is sent to a remote system named dallas for execution. The UNVOUT DD specifies a local data set to use for the standard output of the remote command. The -mode option used with the ucopy command defaults to binary, so no end-of-line character interpretation is done. Binary is specified for standard output transfer mode.

Additional options are read from the encrypted file allocated to DD LOGONDD.

SYSIN Options​

The SYSIN options used in this example are:
