Well, does not SENDFILE need RSCS? If one of the VMs is on IFL then you need a Special Bid License for RSCS.

Since this is a VM-to-VM transfer, why not use SENDFILE or cross-node Shared File System instead of FTP? Either of those methods will preserve the date and time.

A needless dependency. There is already a perfectly good tool on every VM system for doing the wrapping to an envelope and preserving dates. Since this is a VM to VM situation that Bob posted about, I would say just go ahead and use VMFPLCD (note "D", not "2"). vmfplcd dump fn ft env= my evelope a (use wildcards if you want. See HELP VMFPLCD) (copyfile pack it if you want) FTP envelope file to target CMS (copyfile unpack if you packed it) vmfpld load * * env= my envelope Mission accomplished without the dependency on a potentially unavailable VMARC program. This still does not address the issue that something has to extract the file(s) from the envelope on the receiving end. Now, you may get the old "VMFxxxx utilities are just intended for IBM's u se" argument. That would seem weak in the face of an external dependency, particularly if it works. -- Gary Eheman Fundamental Software, Inc. www.funsoft.com -------------------------------------------------------- This message w/attachments (message) may be privileged, confidential or proprietary, and if you are not an intended recipient, please notify the sender, do not use or share it and delete it.
