RE: Automating SNDNETF and RCVNETF

I did this at my previous job. I created a userid on the source and
destination machines to act as the "agent" for the items being sent. Then I
set up a never-ending batch job on the destination machine that did a RCVMSG
on the agent's message queue.
Once a message was received, the batch job would extract out the filename,
file number, etc so that it could perform the RCVNETF command.

Hope this helps. I can try to get a copy of the source code if folks are
interested.

Eurrat --
 I really have never attempted to automate RCVNETF. I suspect it would
involve using an API to get a list of the items waiting for a particular
user ID then picking them off one at a time. This is because it is possible
to have multiple files waiting for a user profile.
 To directly answer your question, to automatically pick up the message
indicating the arrival of new mail, I suspect you would need to use RCVMSG
on whatever message queue the notification of a new file arriving comes to.
If this is the profile you sign on with, you might find there are conflicts
between your interactive job and the batch job waiting to automatically
respond to messages arriving on the message queue associated with your user
profile.

 Has anyone out there done this?

If not and I need to use RCVNETF, how did I monitor the message queue for a
profile of XFER id.  Will I need a never end program or can't I use some
auto-answer or trigger to kick off the CLP needed to do the RCVNETF and
RSTLIB?
