This chapter demonstrates several techniques for sending a SYSOUT or file to VM. Some of these techniques utilize Control‑M functions. Others utilize standard functions of MVS/JES, VM, and/or other products.

All of the following JCL examples assume that

• an NJE connection exists between the MVS and VM machines
• the VM node ID is VMPROD
• the sysout or report is to be routed to a VM machine (user) named USER1
• the sysout class is A

Sysouts or files that are sent to the VM user using NJE/RSCS are placed in the VM user’s Reader queue. The VM user periodically checks the user’s Reader queue using the RL (RDRLIST) command. If a file from MVS is found, the user can, for example, browse the file (using the PEEK command) or move it to the A minidisk (using the RECEIVE command).
