TRANSMIT, a TSO command processor running on the z/OS M/F, repackages the input dataset and then writes it to JES to be handled via NJE which means the data can be RECEIVEd wherever there is NJE connectivity. IND$FILE piggybacks over a 3270 type session with Comm Server and AFAIK only gets you as far as the host you have the 3270 session with. One could use them in series. How about using z/OS Explorer which is a 21st century product? Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Do you mean the pendrive reported no error, or that you got the same CRC32 on the originating PC and the destination PC? Windows is woefully deficient in checksum utilities. One must install one. I use Cygwin. But my suggestion was elliptical. I should have mentioned the need to use TRANSMIT with the OUTDSN option; FTP/SFTP/IND$FILE; then compare checksums; then RECEIVE with the INDSN option. Can TRANSMIT use IND$FILE for the TCP/IP challenged? Can IND$FILE transfer z/OS to z/OS? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
