Thise UNIX files might then be POSIX pipes or network sockets. eliminating any need for huge temporary data sets.
My experience has been that AMATERSE will not directly unpack a UNIX file. However, if SYSUT1 is a concatenation of an empty PS data set and that same UNIX file, it unpacks successfully. This feels not like a technically valid reason but simply anti-UNIX bigotry. Alas, there's no such workaround for PACK SYSUT2. Would AWSTAPE be a transmittable format? But, beware, if the data are too big to fit on disk, they're at risk of network reliability and bandwidth limitations. Why do you feel Windows is needed? It adds needless complexity. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
