CONNECTSTATUS | NOCONNECTSTATUS

Syntax Description

CONNECTSTATUS: specifies that the Transfer Status window is displayed during file transfers.
NOCONNECTSTATUS: specifies that the Transfer Status window is not displayed during file transfers.

Details

For synchronous processing, the CONNECTSTATUS system option specifies whether the Transfer Status window is displayed during a PROC UPLOAD or a PROC DOWNLOAD. This system option can be overridden by specifying the CONNECTSTATUS= option in subsequent PROC UPLOAD, PROC DOWNLOAD, RSUBMIT, and SIGNON statements.

For asynchronous processing (NOCONNECTWAIT), the CONNECTSTATUS system option and the CONNECTSTATUS= option in a SIGNON statement are ignored. To enable the Transfer Status window for asynchronous processing, you must specify CONNECTSTATUS=YES in the PROC UPLOAD, PROC DOWNLOAD, or RSUBMIT statement.
