Using the network requires an existing server that will do what you want. The z/OS FTP server communicates with JES; an FTP client does not. It can only do what the FTP server does on its behalf. The auditors should be verifying that each of the servers is properly secured.

This is quite simple.. if you have sockets experience, it’s easy enough to submit from about anywhere,, z/os network socket, a pc, Mac, iPad, anything that can access the ip network.. or if you don’t have sockets programming experience, use something as easy as ftp.. which even in freeware offerings can communicate directly with jes and submit and/or extract job info (same rules, any platform). Even pull spool data.. (I do this with Windows pc) there are many other tcp/ip methods, but these are the simplest.. hope this helps! -- Dr. Rick Williams ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
