Transferring Files to multiple Systems

1) Select the relevant files using the Selection mask.

2) ONXFT host1 [,usid,acct-#,passw]

Define the Variable Action for the first system.

3) Mark the files with the Action Code X.

4) After executing the Variable Action: Answer the termination query with U (Updated List). The files marked with an X will remain marked.

5) ONXFT host2 [,usid,acct-#,passw]

Define the Variable Action for the second system. Note: The ONX command may not be terminated with an END marker, otherwise the X's in the file list will be deleted.

6) Start the Variable Action with the command A.

Points 4 to 6 can be repeated as often as required.

If only a few files are to be transferred, the following is a simpler method than that described above:

1) Mark the first file with the Action Code FTM (explicit request for the FT Parameter mask), and all others with FT.

2) Enter the first target system name, userid, etc. in the parameter mask, when it is displayed.

3) Enter command A (Execute the Actions), if the files extend to more than one screen.

4) Answer the termination query with U or DUE1. Finally, repeat the above procedure for the second system.
