I think he was asking about the hosting company. They will always have access via the HMC. In addition, since their network will be used to access the OSA-ICC port, they will have access via that method. Joe On Wed, Jul 12, 2023 at 8:01 AM Tom Longfellow < 03e29b607131-dmarc-requ...@listserv

Re: Transfering files from z/OS to VSE

OK, so you said transmit via open system. IMHO, The easiest way is to use IDCAMS to REPRO the file to a flat file (RECFM=V). Then, ZIP the file, and send it over the open systems, which should have no problem with a ZIP file. When it gets to the far end (VSE), just unzip it and use IDCAMS REPRO to
