Well maybe if I could get PIPEDDR to work to the remote IP (my network guys and I disagree a bit here, my problem not yours) then maybe I'd shutup about TERSE. I have a need to do exacatly what you mentioned 'transfer complete 3390s from one data centre to another'. A rare but PITA occurance. I was under the, maybe false, impresion that TERSE would do a better job of compression than PACK. It might simply be a 'the grass is greener' syndrom. I'll probably be happy once I can get it working... My thanks to the author for writing it and placing it on the download page... You wouldn't be willing to share your READER/URO mods would you? please please..

It only fails if TERSE option is specified and the stage is not available. It is written so it does not rely on TERSE I have used PIPEDDR with PACK option to transfer complete 3390s from one data centre to another and it works well. It saved the delay of waiting for a courier to take a cartridge. Just an aside, I thought I would update the code so it used standard PIPES but when I did that TCPIP packets were lost. Maybe TCPCLIENT and TCPLISTEN have different code or maybe I screwed it up or maybe it was timing. Another aside. Thanks to the author Bruce Hayden publishing the code I was able to use PIPEDDR as a model and instead of using TRACKREAD and TRACKWRITE to read and write dasd I used READER and URO to read and write spool making a very simple NJETCP link.
