- .cs 1 on
- DOWNLOAD
-
- The DOWNLOAD command transfers CMS files to your IBM PC or Macintosh.
- (Cornell EXEC)
-
- .cs 1 off
- .cs 2 on
- The format of the DOWNLOAD command is:
-
- +----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | DOWNLOAD | fn ft <fm <<">target_file<">>> <(options<)>> |
- | | |
- | | options: |
- | | |
- | | <REPlace> <BINary> |
- +----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
- .cs 2 off
- .cs 3 on
- where:
-
- fn ft fm specifies the file name of the CMS file to download. The default for
- fm is A and is required if you want to specify a target file.
-
- target_file
- is the name for the file on the micro. If you don't specify
- one it defaults to the concatenation of fn and ft (e.g., fn.ft).
- If the name contains spaces, you should enclose it in quotation
- marks. Slashes ('/') are translated by the microcomputer;
- on the PC, they are changed to back-slashes('\'), while on the
- Macintosh they are changed to colons (':').
-
- REPLACE specifies that an incoming file from CMS will overwrite any file with
- that name that already exists on the micro. If you do not specify
- REPLACE, DOWNLOAD will stop with an error message without
- overwriting the file if a file with the same name already exists.
-
- BINARY causes the file to be downloaded as a binary file. By default
- the program will perform EBCDIC/ASCII translation, strip
- trailing blanks off fixed length records, and insert linefeeds
- in the local file at the end of each line from the CMS file.
-
- .cs 3 off
- .cs 5 on
- Usage Notes:
-
- 1. The UPLOAD EXEC part of the FT3270 and FTC19 file transfer programs
- translates ASCII backslashes to EBCDIC cents signs (hexidecimal code 4A)
- when sending a file from a micro to the mainframe, and DOWNLOAD translates
- EBCDIC backslashes similarly when transferring a file from the
- mainframe to a micro. If you use UPLOAD EXEC to upload C programs from a
- micro you will have to change all 4A codes to E0 codes in these C programs
- before running them with a C compiler on the mainframe, and change E0 codes
- to 4A codes before downloading C programs from the mainframe to a micro
- using DOWNLOAD EXEC.
