3.4.6.6 RECEIVE Command

 






   You can use the RECEIVE command in a background job to receive a message 
   or data set. However, if your installation uses security labels, there 
   will be security constraints placed on the use of the RECEIVE command. 
   These constraints are explained in "Security Considerations for Sending 
   and Receiving Data Sets" in topic 2.7.3. To use RECEIVE in the background, 
   you must specify the RECEIVE command and the responses to any prompts that 
   you would anticipate when using RECEIVE in the foreground. Supply the 
   responses in the same order as they would appear in the foreground. The 
   commands are executed as if PROFILE NOPROMPT was entered. 



   The data set or message that you receive will be prefixed by the user ID 
   that you supply on the JOB statement. To use an alternate prefix as the 
   data set name, include the following command at the beginning of the 
   SYSTSIN data stream: 




     PROFILE PREFIX(prefix) 





   Be sure that any alternate prefix you use is a valid catalog alias. 



   Messages are written to the data set defined in the SYSTSPRT DD statement. 



   Figure 12 shows a batch job for receiving a data set in the background. 





 



     //JOBNAME  JOB     USER=USERID,PASSWORD=PASSWD 
     //STEP1    EXEC    PGM=IKJEFT01,REGION=512K 
     //SYSTSPRT DD      SYSOUT=A 
     //SYSTSIN  DD      * 
       RECEIVE 
       RESTORE 
       **responses to anticipated prompts** 
       r 
     /*
