Hi gil, here is what we do:
1. Run an inhouse program that massages several files and creates one
(possibly) large file (&&Untersedfile).
2. Terse that large file (&&Tersedfile)
3. Pre-emptively delete the Unix file (this is the new step)
4. PGM=SORT to copy that file to Unix (as /tmp/tempfile.txt (actually, a
more meaningful name is used).
5. Run sftp to transfer it to a remote server at another company.
I thought I had referenced my #4 solution previously, but in any case,
Kolusu gave me a SORT OPTION=COPY step that will create the Unix file I
need. Sort wants the DCB info for both sides of the copy, which is not a
problem as these attributes don't change. I am also considering adding a
!cp command to my Sftp script instead of the separate step, but don't
know how to test for success of that !cp command before doing the "put"
command. I am still researching that, as I am not a very good shell
programmer.
Thank you and best regards,
Billy Ashton

gil, the reason I cannot write directly is that in one case, after creating my
file, I run it through AMATERSE to shrink it, and AMATERSE cannout output to

Unix where I can send it.
Do you ever need both the TERSE instance and the sftp instance? If
you need only one you can select whether to allocate a temp DSN or
a UNIX file.
If your data set is large it might be desirable to avoid creating a large
UNIX file. Sftp just executes a monitor program at the remote site.
Instead of sftp you might be able to:
cp //temp.dsn /dev/fd/1 | ssh user@remotehost " set -x; cat
>remote.file.txt"
(Yo never said how you solved the original "cp" problem.)
Are you allowed to use Dovetailed Co:Z?
