IND$FILE will not do anything useful from the Ready prompt, unless you find locking your emulator to be useful. It (usually -- not delving into all the gory details here) uses a special binary protocol that the emulator has to be prepared to recognize. There is no useful way to run IND$FILE

It was my understanding that IND$FILE got marked Company Confidential back in the eighties and not much has changed since then. As we started the TN3270 conversion off direct connected 3270 protocol I was surprised to see the IND$FILE program was still heavily used(ANAL30DD). As it turns

Do you verify that the FCAI_Result from INIT was zero, before the USER command? Are you leaving the FCAI unchanged between INIT and SCMD? Is the 4th argument "W" when you call with SCMD? Are you calling with TERM when you are done, and checking the FCAI_result from that? On Sun, 9 Oct 2016

Two independent and separate methods: With DCB, very straightforward. It's so easy, even IEBGENER can do it. Write a QSAM or BSAM file of JCL to DD SYSOUT=(,INTRDR) and JES will queue it as a job. With ACB, a special JES interface, some specialized programming. I do not have the manuals open and
