In addition to sending and receiving messages, you can send and receive data sets using the TRANSMIT and RECEIVE commands.

• Use the TRANSMIT command to:
  • Send data sets to other users
  • Send a message with a data set to other users
  • Send a data set that is displayed on the terminal when it is received
• Use the RECEIVE command to:
  • Receive data sets from other users

A typical TRANSMIT command to transmit a data set is:

TRANSMIT node_id.user_id DATASET(dataset.name)

The TRANSMIT command does not support:

• Data sets with keys
• Data sets with user labels
• ISAM data sets
• VSAM data sets
