HELP revision:   Version 4.2.2  (91/8/19)
 
  The KERMIT command invokes Kermit-TSO, an assembly language program
which implements the Kermit file transfer protocol on IBM System/370
and XA mainframe computers and compatibles running the MVS (Multiple
Virtual Storage) operating system with the TSO (Time Sharing Option)
subsystem.  Kermit-TSO supports file transfer in both line-mode and
full-screen operation.
 
  Line-mode supports asynchronous  half-duplex ASCII communications
through 3705/3725 or equivalent front ends, while full-screen supports
asynchronous full-duplex ASCII communications through the IBM Series/1
running the Yale ASCII Communications System (or equivalent) or various
other converters with graphics throughput option. See the SET CONTROLLER
subcommand for further details.
 
)X SYNTAX -
         KERMIT
 
   Required - None
   Defaults - None
   Note     - The Kermit "?" help feature is available when entering
              Kermit-TSO subcommands.  A subcommand followed by a space
              and a question mark and entered with a carriage return
              will display a brief description of what is expected or
              possible at that point.
 
            - When connecting in line-mode, several flags must first be
              set on the local Kermit.  The following are the defaults
              and other possibilities for those values:
 
              Baud             whatever the site supports
              Data bits        7
              Flow-control     None
              Handshake        XON | None
              Local-echo       on (half-duplex)
              Parity           even | mark | odd
 
            - When connecting in full-screen, several flags must first
              be set on the local Kermit.  The following are the
              defaults and other possibilities for those values:
 
              Baud             whatever the site supports
              Data bits        7 | 8
              Flow-control     XON/XOFF | None
              Handshake        None
              Local-echo       off (full-duplex)
              Parity           even | mark | odd | none
 
            - When sending files to Kermit-TSO, any record longer than
              the logical record length (LRECL) will be truncated or
              folded to the length at the user's discretion.  If the
              record format is fixed (RECFM=F), any shorter records will
              be padded to LRECL.  If the record format is variable or
              undefined (RECFM=V or RECFM=U), the block length can be as
              high as 32760, provided the disk device tracksize is not
              exceeded.
 
            - When sending files to Kermit-TSO, the local Kermit must
              use a carriage return as the end-of-line (EOL) character.
 
            - This version of Kermit-TSO does not support timeouts for
              other than line-mode terminals.  Therefore, the user
              should press the carriage return key on the microcomputer
              after long periods of update inactivity during file
              transfer, or rely on the timeout facility of the local
              Kermit, if supported, to avoid indefinite delays.

         than a subcommand, but the effect is the same.  This function
         applies whether Kermit-TSO is operating as a 'local' Kermit or
         not.

)F FUNCTION -
           Initiates file transfer to Kermit-TSO from the other Kermit.
 
           - If the optional 'dataset-name' is not specified,
             Kermit-TSO will use the name(s) provided by the other
             Kermit.  If no dataset exists with this name, one will
             be created using the file attribute and space values in
             effect when the RECEIVE subcommand was entered.
           - If the 'dataset-name' specified is the same as an existing
             dataset, Kermit-TSO will prompt the user for the option to
             overwrite the dataset.
           - If the 'dataset-name' was not specified, but is the same
             as an existing dataset,  Kermit-TSO will overwrite the
             dataset if FILE COLLISION has been set to OVERWRITE, but
             will attempt to create a new, unique name otherwise.

)F FUNCTION -
         Send a subcommand for execution to the other Kermit, operating
         in server mode.  See under SERVER for a list of the allowed
         subcommands.  REMOTE is really a prefix, rather than a
         subcommand, but the effect is the same.  Note that REMOTE PRINT
         supports the same options as SEND in connection with the
         filespec.

=SEND=SEN
)F FUNCTION -
           Initiates file transfer from Kermit-TSO to the other Kermit.
 
           - One wildcard '*' may be used anywhere in the 'dataset-name'
             or in the PDS member name, if any, to stand for a string of
             zero or more characters.
           - The 'dataset-name' must be cataloged.

   Required - 'dataset-name'
   Defaults - Will prompt for both if neither is supplied.
 
)O OPERANDS -
))DATASET-NAME   - The name of the dataset(s) to be sent.  You may
                   append a range of line numbers within angle brackets.
                   Only those lines, inclusive, will be sent.  Also,
                   optionally, column-one ASA carriage control may be
                   converted to formatting control characters via the CC
                   option.  E.g., SEND FOO.BAR<9-15> will send only
                   lines nine through fifteen of the dataset; SEND
                   FOO.BAR<9-15_CC> will also convert the carriage
                   control.  Note that the underscore marks the end of
                   the optional line range and may not be omitted if an
                   option (such as CC) is to be specified.
 
))FOREIGN-FILESPEC - The name the file is to have on the other system.
 
=SERVER=SERVE=SERV=SER
)F FUNCTION -
           Invokes Kermit-TSO server mode.
 
           - Once Kermit-TSO enters server mode, it only accepts
             subcommands entered at the local Kermit until a FINISH
             command is executed.  Any non-default parameters must be
             SET before invoking this mode if the local Kermit does
             not offer the REMOTE KERMIT function.
           - The local Kermit must support server subcommands to
             communicate with Kermit-TSO in this mode.  The basic
             server subcommands are GET, SEND, BYE, and FINISH, but
             Kermit-TSO supports others as well:
 
             BYE          - End server mode, end Kermit-TSO, and logoff;
             FINISH       - End server mode and return to the
                            Kermit-TSO prompt;
             GET          - Get a file from Kermit-TSO;
             REMOTE COPY  - Copy a file or files under TSO;
             REMOTE CWD   - Set new Kermit DSN prefix;
             REMOTE DIR   - Display list of datasets;
             REMOTE ERASE - Delete a dataset;
             REMOTE HELP  - Display this command summary;
             REMOTE HOST  - Execute a TSO command;
             REMOTE KERMIT- Execute a Kermit-TSO subcommand;
             REMOTE PRINT - Send a file to be printed from TSO;
             REMOTE RENAME- Rename a dataset;
             REMOTE TYPE  - Display a dataset;
             SEND         - Send a file to Kermit-TSO.
 
           - Kermit-TSO can execute these subcommands when dealing with
             a remote (server) Kermit.

=SET
)F FUNCTION -
           Modify parameters for file transfer.  The SHOW subcommand
           may be used to examine these values.
 
)X SYNTAX -
         SET 'parameter' 'sub-parameter' 'value'
 
   Note: Many of the parameters are multi-level, as in SET FILE RECFM F.
         The following list of operands includes all levels.
 
   Required - 'parameter'
   Defaults - None
 
)O OPERANDS -
))ATOE 'num1' 'num2' - Modifies the ASCII-to-EBCDIC translate table
                       used by Kermit-TSO.  The table begins as the
                       Kermit standard translate table (defined in
                       the Kermit protocol specifications).  If the
                       numeric values are omitted, the whole table is
                       restored to its initial contents.  Tables ETOA,
                       TATOE, and TETOA may be modified in the same way.
       'num1' - A decimal number 0-255 for the value of the ASCII
                character, i.e., the table offset.
       'num2' - A decimal number 0-255 for the corresponding EBCDIC
                character.
 
))ATTRIBUTE 'attrib' 'ON | OFF' - Allows suppressing the exchange of
                         attribute packets or individual attributes.
         'attrib' - Optional name of specific attribute to suppress or
                    enable.  Enter "SET ATT ? ?" for a list of them.
 
))BLKSIZE 'number' - With FILE: specifies the block size for datasets
                     created by Kermit-TSO.  Maximum is 32760.  The
                     default is 6233.
 
))BLOCK '1 | 2 | 3' - Specifies the type of block check used during
                      file transfer.  The default is 1.
                      '1' - A one character checksum.
                      '2' - A two character checksum.
                      '3' - A three character CRC.
 
))CHARACTER-SET 'name' - With FILE: specifies set to use for storing TEXT
                      datasets; with TRANSFER: specifies set to use for
                      transfers.
 
))COLLISION 'APPEND | BACKUP | DISCARD | OVERWRITE | RENAME' -with FILE:
             Tells what to do with an incoming file with the same name
             as an existing dataset.  BACKUP and RENAME are the same
             except that the first renames the existing dataset instead
             of the new one.  In renaming, Kermit-TSO attempts to find a
             unique name by appending a digit to the second qualifier of
             the dataset name.  The default is OVERWRITE.
 
))CONTROLLER 'TTY | SERIES1 | GRAPHICS | VTAMTTY | AEA' -
             Kermit-TSO automatically determines whether you are
             connected via a Series/1-style emulation controller or a
             TTY line.  This command is provided, though, so you can
             change connections and because Kermit may not be able to
             distinguish between Series/1 and graphics throughput
             devices.  For both those and the 3174 AEA, Kermit attempts
             to disable the 3270 protocol conversion function by putting
             the controller into "transparent mode"; this allows Kermit
             packets to pass through intact.  The value VTAMTTY would be
             specified (and is the default) for any TTY device connected
             through VTAM/TSO.
 
))DEBUG 'ON | OFF | RAW | I/O | LONG | TIME' -
          If ON, keep a journal of all packets sent and received in the
          file KER.LOG.  If OFF, stop logging the packets and close the
          file.  Default is OFF.  ON may be modified by RAW, I/O, and/or
          LONG.  If RAW, record packets exactly as sent and received,
          rather than in EBCDIC.  If I/O, record supplemental info about
          transfer I/O (for fullscreen devices).  LONG is the same as
          I/O, except that I/O records are not truncated at 36 bytes.
          If TIME and I/O, the extra log records are given time tags.
 
    Note: KER.LOG is prefixed with the Kermit, not the TSO, prefix when
          debug mode is entered.  The log dataset thus begun continues
          in use no matter what happens to the Kermit prefix.
 
    Note: Packets sent by Kermit-TSO are distinguished by a carriage
          return (X'0D') at the end; packets received have had it
          stripped by the front end (TTY) processor.
 
))DELAY 'number' - Specifies the number of seconds Kermit-TSO will delay
          before beginning to send packets after the SEND subcommand has
          been entered.  Default is 10.  Use a DELAY of 1 to abbreviate
          the usual greetings written on the screen at the start of
          protocol mode or a DELAY of 0 to suppress the greetings
          entirely (along with the attendant one-second pause).
 
))DELIM 'char' - Specifies a character to be interpreted by Kermit as a
         line delimiter in subsequent subcommands entered from the

                   Specifies the file type of the data and determines
                   the type of translation, if any, to use.
        Binary   - Specifies non-delimited, bit-stream data.  No trans-
                   lation is performed, and no carriage return/linefeed
                   pairs are added to outgoing records.  Incoming bytes
                   are added successively to the current record, which
                   is written out when the specified logical record
                   length (LRECL) is reached.
        Text     - Specifies textual data.  ASCII-to-EBCDIC and
                   EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation is performed on the
                   data using the defined translate tables.  Carriage
                   return/linefeed pairs are used to delimit the
                   records.  This is the default.
        V-binary - Specifies variable-length binary records.  Like
                   BINARY, except that a 2-byte length field precedes
                   each outbound record and is assumed for incoming
                   records.  Incoming records are stripped of their
                   prefixes and written out when the prefix value is
                   reached.  This is useful when the record format is
                   unformatted (RECFM=U) or variable (RECFM=V).
        D-binary - Specifies variable-length binary records.  Like
                   V-BINARY, except that the prefix field is a 5-byte
                   ASCII decimal string.

))VOLUME 'name' - With FILE:
                   Specifies the name of the particular storage volume
                   for storing new files (e.g., received from the local
                   Kermit).  The default is blank (the system will
                   choose any volume of the specified UNIT class).
 
))8-BIT-QUOTE 'ON | OFF | char' -
                   Controls whether eighth-bit prefixing is done and
                   specifies the character to be used.
