Transferring Data Files From a Microcomputer to the Host:
The TO3XB Command
With the TO3XB command, you can transfer and translate data from a
microcomputer to a file on the host.
The TO3XB command also allows you to store data on the host in ASCII.
This serves as an alternative means of off-site storage for your
microcomputer data. To store the microcomputer data on the host in ASCII,
specify *SAVE as the value for the FILETYPE parameter. To transfer the
data back to the microcomputer, use the FROM3XB command with *YES as the
value for the SAVTYPE parameter.
To transfer a file using TO3XB, specify the name of the micro file you
want to transfer, the name of the host file to which it will be
transferred, and optionally, the translation information that includes
the translation type and translation table.
If the host file will be created during the TO3XB operation, you must
specify the host file type, and either a record length or the file and
member containing Data Description Specifications (DDS). If the host file
existed prior to the TO3XB operation, ETU uses the existing file
definition. For more information about file definitions, see Chapter 4,
Learning About ETU.
If you prefer not to have the data translated during the TO3XB operation,
you translate the file, after it is transferred to the host, with the
XLATEFROM command. The XLATEFROM command translates a data file on the
host after the file has been received from the micro with the TO3XB
command. You can use XLATEFROM only if the following TO3XB parameters
were coded as shown:
filetype(*data) srcseq(*no) translate(*none)
The TO3XB command can be run only from the microcomputer on which the
file being transferred resides.
