Two things I see: the syntax of the DEST= option is wrong (unless you're trying to deliver a file from MVS to user VSE on your VM system), and you're missing the necessary NJE routing to allow MVS to get files to the VSE node via RSCS. The DEST= specification should be (nodename, user) (for file delivery) or (nodename, linkname) (in the printer case). , and you'd have to maintain a NJE routing table to indicate that node VSE is reachable via RSCS. You need a ROUTE card in MVS to tell the NJE code that the destination VSE is reachable via node RSCS. It works with the direct connection to RSCS because NJE assumes a implicit NJE ROUTE for directly connected links. You'll need to do the same thing on VSE to allow files to flow to MVS. RSCS will be able to reach both because of the direct links to the two systems.
