From my reading in TSO/E Customization, TRANSMIT makes the call to IEBCOPY if you process a DSORG=PO type of dataset and Access Method Services REPRO if you process a VSAM dataset. No need for an extra step to flatten VSAM. Sounds like something to try after I finish rewriting my PC DOS 7.0

TRANSMIT will not work on VSAM and yet the TSO/E Customization maual shows it supports a DSORG for VSAM. The bad conenction I made was reading they support VSAM as a dsorg and they name AMSCIPHR for calling AMS to deecrypt a file. How a DSORG of VSAM would ever get in a transmit file if
