Page 12: Simulating Sending And Receiving Files With The Demo
3770Link Simulating Sending and Receiving Files with the Demo For the purposes of this demo, the following rules apply when sending or receiving files: You may send a file at any time you are connected. A connection is achieved through the Auto-Dial, Auto-Answer, or Connect menus in 3770Link GUI, or through the DIAL, CONN, or ANS script commands in 3770Link SO.
Page 13: Script Files
Script Files To accommodate unattended operation, 3770Link utilizes an extremely powerful script language. There is a corresponding script command for most of the menu items available in interactive mode. In addition there are numerous commands to manage error checking, error recovery, looping, and branching. Script files can be executed by specifying the -sfilename command line option of 3770Link SO or from the File | Run Script menu in 3770link interactive mode.
Page 14 3770Link IF conn_loop, connect QUIT :connect PTR testptr SEND jcl.txt IF sendfail :sendfail DISC QUIT This example LU script file dials a phone number and checks for numerous possible result codes. If the dial is successful, two files are transmitted consecutively and a RCV is executed to await the host’s reply.
Page 15 :no_tone ##ATTENTION: Phone Line Not Connected QUIT This example master connect script file connects on all 3 configured LUs (RJELINK1, RJELINK2, and RJELINK3). The line is then disconnected. This script file example assumes that the 3 LUs are configured for the current connection.
