Issue/Introduction

Gen Technical Support placed a Transmit/XMIT file in my support case SFTP Directory. How do I get the file loaded to my z/OS data set?

Resolution

1. On the PC using binary transfer mode download the TRANSMIT (XMIT) file from the case/issue SFTP Directory.
This article describes how this can be done from Support Portal "My Cases" using https or directly using ftp related commands: Case FTP Help Document

2. Transfer the file to z/OS as BINARY in a PRE-allocated data set with the following DCB :  RECFM FB, LRECL 80, BLKSIZE 3120


3. From TSO, ISPF Menu Option 6, execute the following command: 
        receive inds('filenameoftheXMIT') 

        When prompted for additional parameters, enter the following:
        ds('MyLOADLIB')               

The implicit IEBCOPY will create 'MyLOADLIB' & the member/module from that Library can now be used.
