Sending a Spool File
This chapter describes the Sterling Connect:Direct Send Spool (CDSNDSPL) command and its function. It
shows sample CDSNDSPL screens and describes the required and optional parameters for the CDSNDSPL
command.

Using the CDSNDSPL Command

Use the CDSNDSPL command to send a spool file on the local i5/OS node to a remote node. You can also send
spool files to a remote printer through the Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS Spool Monitor. You can specify a
user-exit command (either EXITCMD or FAILCMD) to be executed after the completion of a copy process in
either FROMSYSOPTS or TOSYSOPTS. Using EXITCMD, you can specify a command to be executed only
if the copy process is successful. You can also specify a command to be executed only if the copy process is not
successful by using the FAILCMD command. The EXITCMD and FAILCMD are executable i5/OS
commands as well as Sterling Connect:Direct as long as the size of the command does not exceed 127 bytes.
Refer to Maintaining Spool Support in the IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS Installation and
Administration Guide.
