MVS, MSP, OPENVMS, TANDEM, UNIX, VM, VOS, VSE, Microsoft Windows, or Microsoft
Windows_NT.

specifies the file to be sent to the remote node. The file name can be up to 256 characters long. File
names are verified based on the i5/OS standard file name conventions.The entire data set name must
be in single quotes. If you are using the Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS F4 prompting feature, the
system supplies the single quotes if you do not type them with the data set name on the command line.
The length of the input field displayed is 132 characters, by default. To increase the length of the field
to 256 characters, type an ampersand(&) followed by a blank in the first two positions of the field.

system. Refer to the Using the File Systems on page 19 for detailed information about the file systems.

The following table summarizes the data set name requirements for Sterling Connect:Direct
platforms.
Note: The values of *LIBL, *CURLIB, and QTEMP cannot be used when sending to or from an
iSeries system using Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS. A specific library name must be used
for copying from or to a data set on the iSeries.
Note: Do not use member names longer than eight characters when sending to z/OS, VSE or MSP
nodes. The results are unpredictable.
For TDSN, the values of *LIBL,*CURLIB, QTEMP cannot be used when sending to or from
an iSeries system using Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS. A specific library name must be
used for copying from or to a data set on the iSeries.
Note: If the TDSN requires a password, specify the password in the TDSN after the data set name.
A slash (/) must follow the data set name and precede the password. This password is used
at data set allocation. If it is not correct, the system issues a Write to Operator Request
(WTOR) which requests the password when Sterling Connect:Direct opens the data set.
