FWIW, I got tired of struggling with emulator settings years ago. I use ISPF Work Station Agent (WSA) for moving files between my workstation and the mainframe.
It's free, it's fast (way faster than IND$FILE, maybe faster than FTP), it's secure and it's easy to use. You can easily automate it using TSO Rexx, and you can run it in batch so that it doesn't tie up your TSO session. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
