IND$FILE is in fact included on the S disk in 5.2... Lee

Hi, I'm dealing with our current 3270 emulator vendor, which provides limited support for FTP protocol file transfer, trying to convince them to enhance that support. I recall when z/VM v5.2 was announced, there was a statement to the effect that IBM would no longer officially support the IND$FILE protocol as of v5.2 but IND$FILE would be included as a "sample" (my wording, not necessarily IBM's) unsupported program. I guess the implication is it would probably work w/ v5.2 in many/most situations but don't call IBM if it doesn't. Furthermore, as I recall, it was stated that IND$FILE would no longer be shipped with z/VM releases after v5.2. I found the v5.2 announcement letter ( http://www-306.ibm.com/common/ssi/OIX.wss?DocURL=http://d03xhttpcl001g.boulder.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/8/897/ENUS205-168/index.html&InfoType=AN&InfoSubType=CA&InfoDesc=Announcement+Letters&panelurl=OIX.wss%3Fbuttonpressed%3DDET001PT008%26page%3D0%26user%2Btype%3DEXT%26submit.x%3D12%26submit.y%3D6&paneltext=Multiple+types+search ) but I don't see any reference to either IND$FILE or FTP file transfer. Was I having another nightmare? Does anyone else (especially anyone official within IBM) remember this IND$FILE support issue and, if so, can you provide a link to something official from IBM stating their official position on the matter? If my facts aren't quite right, please feel free to set me straight (with supporting documentation, if possible). If I really was dreaming and there's no truth at all to this recollection, please let me know about that also. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Dennis Schaffer Mutual of Omaha
