Hi,

Is it possible to XCOM a file from Mainframe to server by specfying a hostname instead of IP address.

I.E

If I specified IP addr, its working fine

IPNAME=10.20.300.400
TYPE=SEND
FILETYPE=FILE
USERID=XXXX
PASSWORD=YYY
COMPRESS=COMPACT
CKPT=0
CODE=EBCDIC
FILEOPT=REPLACE
LFILE=MS1986.XCOM.file
FILE=//data/XCOM/TSST/FIN_20080910.txt

when I tried to execute the same JCL by specifying hostname of that particular IP, job ended with error msg "HOSTNAME" data invalid.

HOSTNAME=TSTFIN.FIN.SU.AB
TYPE=SEND
FILETYPE=FILE
USERID=XXXX
PASSWORD=YYY
COMPRESS=COMPACT
CKPT=0
CODE=EBCDIC
FILEOPT=REPLACE
LFILE=MS1986.XCOM.file
FILE=//data/XCOM/TSST/FIN_20080910.txt


XCOM doesn't support the HOSTNAME ? any other solution is there to do XCOM using hostname.please advise.

Thanks.

what does the mnual say - does it support HOSTNAME? You say it doesn't so if that is true then you have answered your last question.

You need to specify
IPNAME= TSTFIN.FIN.SU.AB

IPNAME accepts either an address or name.
