Returning z/OS output files to the client computer

About this task

Note: The examples in this topic are for illustrating command syntax. You need to substitute values appropriate to your site for the command parameters.

Procedure

To send output files from a z/OS® build to the client computer, do these steps:
  1. Identify the file extension of the output file in your BCL build script using a DD statement with the RCCEXT extension parameter.
    //SYSOUT DD  RCCEXT=PRO,DISP=(NEW,DELETE),
    //    UNIT=VIO,SPACE=(TRK,(10,10)),
    //     DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=3200)
    Note: If very large files (for example, larger than 10 MB) are downloaded from z/OS to the distributed platform as part of remote builds, you might need to increase the REGION size specified for the JCL that invokes RCCBLDW (the sample JCL is named RCCMVS). In most cases 256M (256000K) is sufficient.
  2. Specify the output file by using the rccbuild –o option.
    rccbuild … –o c:\builds\banner.pro
