This need is only for the initial installation script to get the repositories z/OS datasets populated from the OMVS files. Once there the ISPF interfaces invokes REXX exec's have no problem with cp.

I've found ISPF 3.17 to suffice. And it has the ISPF look-and-feel. But my colleagues impulsively, inexplicably, do an OGETX. Perhaps "PDS=NO" should be an option for those who don't fear innovation. Or, let your clients electively do the OGETX or cp from their 3270 or SSH command line if they feel the need and accept the performance hit. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
