Example 4

Joe begins the receive process for the members transmitted in Example 3 and ends the receive without actually restoring the data onto the receiving system, because Joe does not know where he wants to store the data.

receive
Dataset SYS1.PARMLIB  from USER1 on NODEA
Members: IEASYS00, IEAIPS00
Greetings from John Doe.
Joe,
   These are the parmlib members you asked me to send you.
They are in fact the ones we are running today.
Yours,
John Doe
NODEA.USER1
Enter restore parameters or 'DELETE' or 'END' +
end

In the preceding example, notice that the PROLOG and EPILOG lines have been appended to the message entered by the sender. In an actual RECEIVE operation, the original message text would appear in both uppercase and lowercase just as the sender had entered it (assuming the receiver's terminal supports lowercase.)
