Execute an Existing Windows .bat file from z/OS

This example demonstrates calling a Windows batch file (.bat extension) from a script being executed remotely by UCMD Manager. The Windows CALL command is used to execute a Windows batch file that already exists on the Windows system.

When UCMD Manager is provided a script with the -script option to be remotely executed, it sends the script to the remote UCMD Server. The UCMD Server, in turn, will create a temporary Windows batch file (.bat extension) in the file system to hold the UCMD Manager-provided script. The UCMD Server will then execute the saved batch file using the Windows command processor CMD.EXE.

Since the UCMD Manager script is executing as a Windows batch file, if it needs to call another batch file, it must use the Windows CALL command.

SYSIN Options

The SYSIN options used in this example are:

Option	Description
-script	ddname from which to read the script file. The script file is sent to the remote system by UCMD Manager for execution.
-host	Host name or IP address of the remote system on which to execute the script.
-userid	Remote user ID with which to execute the command.
-pwd	Password for the user ID.
