Examples of Data Transfer Services (DTS) |
This
example shows how to download all members of a partitioned data set. Suppose
you need to download a collection of SAS programs from a z/OS server to your
client. The SAS programs are members of one partitioned data set named MFHOST.SAS.PROGRAMS.
You can copy all the programs from the partitioned data set to the client
by using a single DOWNLOAD procedure. An asterisk (*) wildcard character is
specified in the DOWNLOAD procedure to transfer all members of the data set.
%let hostn=2;
signon s390deva script='!sasroot\tst\m900\rlink\testsrc\scrmvs.sas';
rsubmit;
data _null_;
file 'sastnd.rlink.testpdsr(a)';
put 'data a; x=1; run;';
run;
data _null_;
file 'sastnd.rlink.testpdsr(b)';
put 'data a; x=1; run;';
run;
endrsubmit;
filename locdir
'/unixhost/sas/programs';
rsubmit;
filename inpds
'mfhost.sas.programs' shr;
proc download infile=inpds('*')
outfile=locdir;
endrsubmit;
The first FILENAME statement defines the fileref LOCDIR,
which identifies the physical location for the files that are downloaded to
the UNIX client. The RSUBMIT statement indicates that the statement that
follows will be processed on the z/OS server. By not specifying a server-ID, this example assumes that the z/OS computer is your
current server. The second FILENAME statement defines the fileref INPDS for
the partitioned data set MFHOST.SAS.PROGRAMS, which contains the SAS programs
that will be downloaded to the client. The PROC DOWNLOAD step transfers all
the files in the partitioned data set on the z/OS server to the library LOCDIR
on the UNIX client. The ENDRSUBMIT statement indicates the end of the block
of statements that are submitted to the server for processing.
