Pre-send Job Error
If the return code for a Pre-send Job exceeds the value specified for JOB RC Criterion, the Send File outputs an error and is terminated.
Replacement Message
By specifying '&MSG0' to '&MSG5' or '&MSGL0' to '&MSGL1' in the following fields, field values are replaced with the messages that are specified at the time of the Send File or with received messages:

Startup Job
You cannot describe two or more messages in JCL Library or in the Startup Job, nor incorporate a message with fixed value to use.

HULFT may not be able to replace the variables with the messages correctly and the transfer may fail, depending on the language settings on the host on the sending side.
For points to be noted on message transmission, refer to Administration Manual for the destination host.
