Unless there are performance or security issues, using NFS would seem to be a no brainer. As always, the Golden Rule applies: he who has the gold makes the rule.

Even large shops who are relatively up-to-date in z/OS release level have not made z/OSMF available to application teams in any form. Most are limiting that access to systems teams and even they don’t much like it from the posts I have seen on this list. There have to be less intrusive / complex-to-implement--shop-wide alternatives, and an updated or open-sourced IND$FILE would provide one such. ISV's are a different kind of organization from shops that use their software, and are pushed much harder by IBM changes to adopt the latest whiz-bangs or risk being left behind. Application shops are far more conservative and even backwards in adopting them. It isn’t the right way, but it is a fact of application life. I do have FTP to and from my employer's systems, but not every application shop allows that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
