| How To Issue GETs and PUTs For SAM/VSAM Specific & Shell Views: |
| Introduction: This page explains how to issue GETs (i.e., download) and PUTs (i.e., upload) for data sets associated with SAM/VSAM Specific and Shell views. The Upload/Download procedures for both types of views are identical because, as we have already mentioned, Shell views must be transformed, albeit logically, inot specific views. |
| How To Issue GETs & PUTs: The Commands are very simple to issue: To Download data: issue GET filename and To Upload data: issue PUT filename where filename, in both cases, is the client-side file name Please notice that neither GET nor PUT explicitly specify a server-side data set name. The server gets the real data set name from the view (specific views) or from the path (shell views). But if, for some odd reason, you want to specify a server-side name, then specify something like: GET server-side-meaningless-name filename and PUT filename another-server-side-meaningless-name |
