TRANSMIT will not work on VSAM and yet the TSO/E Customization maual shows it supports a DSORG for VSAM. The bad conenction I made was reading they support VSAM as a dsorg and they name AMSCIPHR for calling AMS to deecrypt a file. How a DSORG of VSAM would ever get in a transmit file if TRANSMIT does not support it is beyond me. Likely yet-another-bug in the manuals. I have been finding lots of them lately. Perhaps if you use the ENCIPHER keyword. I am not ready to try that. They did remove ISAM as a DSORG.
