Before I found out about Co:Z I used shell scripts and REXX in OMVS to copy the files back and forth from MVS datasets to OMVS file systems (if sending to the mainframe, they would follow up the copy with a SSH and execute a script with a table of DSNs with DCBs to copy to a MVS dataset . . . or supply their own DCB and dataset name). It was very cumbersome indeed. Co:Z makes all that go away; it's simple to install, implement, and use. Highly recommended.

There's some echo here of the "retire mainframe" thread. z/OS doesn't "play well with others." -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Confidentiality notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
