Carol, I think it really depends on what you need as a "report". Another method is to use the Notify action to create a file on the server

The action is something like echo "$field$" > $File Path$ and then echo "$field" >> $File Path$ What I'm echoing (the $field$) is a bit more complex than that to account for Carriage Returns. Once I have the file built, I issue a cmd to the server to zip it along with some attachments and then bring it back into an attachment which is then emailed out. So while I don't transfer it to a mainframe, the building part may be helpful to you. Others on the arslist may have some slicker ideas - admittedly, mine is a bit crude. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Carnevali" <carol.carnev...@broadridge.com> To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Monday, December 16, 2013 3:27:26 PM Subject: Re: How to transport files to a mainframe Thanks Joel, but how do I use a filter to create a report and save it to a file? That's the part I'm missing. Thanks. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
