Copy from Remote IBM i to Local z/OS via Universal Copy

The following figure illustrates the copying of a file from a remote IBM i system to a local z/OS system.

//S1 EXEC UCMDPRC
//UNVOUT   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.output.file
//LOGONDD  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.userid(userid)
//SCRIPTDD DD *
STRUCP FRMFILE(LIBRARY/INPUTFILE)FRMMBR(MEMBER)
CPYMODE(*TEXT)
//SYSIN    DD *
-script SCRIPTDD
-encryptedfile LOGONDD
-host dallas
/*


The JCL procedure UCMDPRC is used to execute the command. The command is sent to a remote system named dallas for execution. The UNVOUT DD specifies a local data set to use for the standard output of the remote command. The CPYMODE option is used to force end-of-line character interpretation.

Additional command line options are read from the encrypted file allocated to DD LOGONDD.

The file is copied as a text file, since the default transfer mode for standard files is text.
