You don't say what error you're receiving. If it's a permission problem, use the -o option to disable tar from passing the owner across. I do tar -cvof a.tar dir and untar on linux with tar -xvf a.tar with no isssues. Whenever I extract a tar file on z/OS, I do the same kind of thing. e.g. tar -xvof a.tar If I don't do that, the sender's UID is set and I can't delete the files and I have to get someone with root to delete them. -- Don Poitras - SAS Development - SAS Institute Inc. - SAS Campus Drive sas...@sas.com (919) 531-5637 Cary, NC 27513 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
