I've used XMIT to send small SMF files between Sysplex's. The catch is the transmitted file occupies spool space until someone receives it. If your shop is hurting for space they probably don't have a lot of spool volumes either.

My attempts of downloading the SMF dataset directly, in binary, and then uploading it to another SMF dataset with the same DCB attributes did not work. The file got corrupted. I have a customer that has a huge SMF dataset that can't be TERSED or XMITTED because of a lack of space. Is there a way to send it, without previous use of XMIT or TRS ? Thanks in advance.
