Using Mainframe Access (MFA) from a COBOL program 56 A length error, at a record level, has been detected 57 A general security error has been detected 58 A hash code mismatch has been detected 59 The remote execution failed 60 The JES spool file is not an output file 61 The JES spool file is not a held output file 100 Syntax error in call 125 Too many concurrent users are active 139 The record length was too large 218 The DCB is not supported. This is usually caused by trying to use RECFM=U 219 The mainframe load libraries are not APF authorized 220-241 Various SAF security return codes 242 The component in use has not been activated on the mainframe 243 Unable to write the specified file to the workstation 244 Unable to read the specified file from the workstation 245 The catalog search detected an error 246 The catalog search did not yield any results 247 The /F MFENDDRV* statement was not in FHREDIR.CFG 248 The /F MFLSCDRV* statement was not in FHREDIR.CFG 249 The file FHREDIR.CFG could not be located 250 A communications failure occurred 251 The file did not have a positive length 252 An invalid mask was given 253 The local access mask was not specified 254 The local access mode was not set 255 Invalid function was requested Importing Data You can import individual members, or a collection of members defined by a filter, from the JES spool, a partitioned dataset or source code control system or you can import entire QSAM, VSAM datasets, IMS databases or DB/2 tables with automatic data conversion to the appropriate Micro Focus format. You may optionally specify a control file containing one or more commands and allow MFDAS to run them as a batch. To do this, place the commands in a control file of any name, without the preceding MFDAS parameter, then run MFDAS with the parameter @filename, where filename is the name of the control file. Text or binary transfers are possible. Use the BINARY or TEXT operand to override the default transfer type for the type. The default transfer type for PDS, Librarian, Panvalet, Endevor, or CCC/LCM, is TEXT. The default transfer type for QSAM is BINARY. VSAM, IMS and DB/2 cannot be overridden. The MEMBER parameter can specify a specific mainframe member name, or can include special filter characters to allow multiple imports to occur based on the special filter characters that you specify. These special filter characters are: • * means any characters may follow • ? means any character in this position • + means the character in this position must be non-blank • - means the character in this position must be blank • \ means the character in this position must be non-numeric • / means the character in this position must be numeric Page 2 of 4
