Try D4A3290 (it is an SNA logmode, D4B is non-SNA).

It was explicitly stated in the relevant z/VM announcement letters that 
you won't be able to get any support from IBM for IND$FILE.  A look at 
RETAIN shows me that 5664-281 (3270-PC FILE TRANSFER v1.1.1) ended support 
31 JAN 2003.  (That's odd since I can't find the withdrawal from marketing 
or service announcement.)

So let's recap: You have a failing case and a working case.  Get a data 
trace so you can look for differences.  You don't really have to know what 
it all means, but knowing whether there are any difference and whether 
they are coming from the host or emulator will let us focus more on the 
problem.  If the emulator has a trace capability (PCOMM does), or if you 
have Wireshark, that's probably best.  Otherwise you'll need a VTAM LU 
data trace.
