Starting the Send Acknowledge job

To let HULFT carry out sending, you must start the Send Acknowledge job first.

The Send Acknowledge job starts only if the System Environment Settings file (HULENV) is recognized. The job does not start if a parameter error occurred at startup.

At the time of startup, some parameters are handed over from resident jobs to the jobs to start. For details, refer to the following:

HULFT10 for IBMi Administration Manual : HULFT System Startup and Stop

For more information on the System Environment Settings file, refer to the following:

HULFT10 for IBMi Administration Manual : System Environment Settings

Program interface

SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(Library name/HULSNDD) 
   [PARM(['LIB=Library name'] ['C'] ['D'] ['OUTPUT=filename'])]) 
   JOB(HULSNDD) JOBQ(Library name/HULJOBQ) 

Explanation of parameters

LIB=Library name

Library name in which HULFT is installed ("HULFT" by default)

Specify this parameter as an alphanumeric character string of 10 bytes or less starting with an alphabet.

C

Delete records in the Resend Queue file at startup (Optional)

Specifying this parameter clears the Resend Queue first, then starts the job.

D

Delete records in the Send Control files at startup (Optional)

Specifying this parameter clears the control information on the Send files (such as the file in the Send Queue or in progress) first, then starts the job.

OUTPUT=filename

Destination of the messages that the Send system outputs (Optional)

Specify this parameter in the format of Library name/File name(Member name).

The number of log records that a log file can retain is unlimited.

If omitted, the log is output to the file specified in the System Environment Settings.

Note
  • Set the CCSID (Coded Character Set Identifier) to "65535" when you start the Send Acknowledge job. If you do not set the CCSID (Coded Character Set Identifier) to "65535", code conversion may not be carried out properly, in the case where CCSID of the Send file does not agree with that of the Send job.

  • If you set the JOBMSGQFL (Job message queue full action) to "*NOWRAP", HULFT resident jobs may not work in some cases when the Job message queue becomes full.
