Transferring Data Files From a Microcomputer to the Host:

The TO3XB Command

With the TO3XB command, you can transfer and translate data from a microcomputer to a file on the host.

The TO3XB command also allows you to store data on the host in ASCII. This serves as an alternative means of off-site storage for your microcomputer data. To store the microcomputer data on the host in ASCII, specify *SAVE as the value for the FILETYPE parameter. To transfer the data back to the microcomputer, use the FROM3XB command with *YES as the value for the SAVTYPE parameter.

To transfer a file using TO3XB, specify the name of the micro file you want to transfer, the name of the host file to which it will be transferred, and optionally, the translation information that includes the translation type and translation table.

If the host file will be created during the TO3XB operation, you must specify the host file type, and either a record length or the file and member containing Data Description Specifications (DDS). If the host file existed prior to the TO3XB operation, ETU uses the existing file definition. For more information about file definitions, see Chapter 4, Learning About ETU.

If you prefer not to have the data translated during the TO3XB operation, you translate the file, after it is transferred to the host, with the XLATEFROM command. The XLATEFROM command translates a data file on the host after the file has been received from the micro with the TO3XB command. You can use XLATEFROM only if the following TO3XB parameters were coded as shown:

filetype(*data) srcseq(*no) translate(*none)

The TO3XB command can be run only from the microcomputer on which the file being transferred resides.
