z/OS 1.12 introduces the ability of FTP to operate on named pipes. Fairly unusual; most FTP implementations deal only with regular files (but legacy data sets are hardly regular; consider all the SITE and LOCSITE commands introduced to support them.)
So, in principle, one could initiate on host A a GET from host X to a named pipe, and a PUT from that named pipe to host Y. Can this be done concurrently, so the data need never occupy disk space on host A? Probably, with two z/OS Unix sessions; less likely with TSO except by using two IDs to run two sessions at the same time. And, then, can one working only on host A stream a load module/ program object from host X to host Y in this fashion? (Will dovetail CO:z fromdsn/todsn move load modules/program objects?) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
