If you want to transfer a binary file from z/OS to z/OS with non-z/OS intermediate nodes, then I'd strongly suggest that you use QUOTE SITE STRU R to use "record" structure. This "encodes" the file so that record boundries are kept. I've done this to transfer files in the past from z/OS to Windows, back to z/OS. The binary file is not readily usable on the intermediate nodes due to the "encoding". -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
