Issue/Introduction

How to transmit a PDSE load library with CA-XCOM?  

Environment

Release: ESBXCM99000-11-CA-XCOM Data Transport-Extended Support Basic
Component:

Resolution

• XCOM links to IEBCOPY in its transmission process, so XCOM must be APF authorized. If CA-XCOM is not APF authorized, you will receive the message XCOMM0049E XCOM IS NOT APF AUTHORIZED.
• It requires an XCOMPRNT DD SYSOUT=* which is used as the IEBCOPY SYSPRINT
• It requires a PROGLIB=YES SYSIN01 parameter statement.
• You are also restricted to sending only entire libraries unless you have RO98487 ENHANCEMENT - SUPPORT FOR SELECTIVE PDSE LOADLIB TRANSFERS applied. Otherwise you cannot transfer a member name or a wildcards of any kind. Attempting to send a member or a group of members by using a wildcard will cause an XCOMM0112E MEMBER NAME NOT ALLOWED WITH PROGLIB=YES error message.
• Attempts to move a single dataset fail with:
  XCOMM0124E DATASET IS NOT A PDSE PROGRAM LIBRARY. DSN=***

The following is sample JCL showing a transfer of a PDSE loadlib.
