Sending data from zSeries to IBM i

Use these instructions to receive and print data and resources from zSeries systems to your IBM® i.

Communication with the zSeries system is important to determine how the zSeries system sends data to your IBM i system. When data is sent from a zSeries system to your IBM i system, it can go directly to the output queue of a designated user ID. Alternatively, it can go into your network files.

Notes:
  1. You can send print data to the output queue of a user ID only when your host zSeries RSCS/JES subsystem is connected to the VM or z/OS® bridge on IBM i.
  2. To send data to another IBM i or zSeries system, you can use the Send Network Spooled File (SNDNETSPLF) command.

If you are sending print data, it can be sent directly to an output queue of a specified user ID on the IBM i. Advanced Function Presentation data stream (AFPDS) data can go to your network files. However, you must then use the Print Advanced Function Printer Data (PRTAFPDTA) command to put the file on an output queue. If you are sending resources, the data must go into your network files.
