Hello Willie, First, the closing apostrophe should be between the close parentheses XMIT NYZ380.ZAWTPWG DA('CNTL.JCL(SMSJOB1)')
To your second question - XMIT will not allow you to specify a PDS(E) member in the OUTDS operand. However, you can ALLOCATE a PDS member and specify the DDNAME in the OUTDD parameter. ALLOC DD(XMITOUT) DA(XMIT(TEST)) SHR XMIT ABC.DEFG DA(CNTL(JOBCARD)) OUTDD(XMITOUT) FREE DD(XMITOUT) RECEIVE will support a PDS(E) member for INDS, or you can do the same ALLOCATE trick.

Below is my command: XMIT NYZ380.ZAWTPWG DA('CNTL.JCL(SMSJOB1')) What the command does it creates the member SMSJOB1 in a pds ZAWTPWG.CNTL.JCL Does XMIT allow to create the member in a given PDS .e.g TEST.CNTL.JCL? If so could anyone please provide me the correct syntax. I tried various commands but I kept getting the "ISPD204 Invalid parameter - ' CMD(&ZPTCPRM' contains unrecognized parameter. --------------------------------- Fussy? Opinionated?
