Hmm. I remember that problem too, but I haven't seen it happen in years.
I don't remember changing anything myself to make it go away, but I might
have forgotten. Of course both the z/OS systems and my own workstation
have been upgraded several times since the last time I saw it so who knows

For modern 3270 emulators, IND$FILE does not use a "screen scraper"
kludge. Rather, the transfer is done using structured fields.

I don't know how you guys can stand FTP when WSA is available. :-)

I don't know how you guys that have to use IND$FILE can stand
it. Thank God for TCP/IP FTP.
I prefer my data transfer in TCP/IP packets instead of
IND$FILE's ancient screen scraper kludge.
I learned a good trick only a few years ago that made PCOMM much faster
for me. Apparently it goes to the DNS for name resolution often (like
every "packet" of some kind). Changing the definitions of my links for my
sessions from using names to the actual numeric IP addresses allows PCOMM
to
Hmm. Maybe it's not age. Maybe they just need better names. :-)

Glad I am not the only one who uses PCOMM for ftp I had set up the
templates with the different dcb and space stuff ages ago, and I am quite happy
using it.My problem is that I keep forgetting what name is what setup and
have to go take a look every time. But that's older age for you :-(
Like most things, it is easy once you know the trick.
I use PCOMM all the time for uploading and downloading to z/VM and z/OS
systems. I tried FTP and WSA but PCOMM is easier once you have it set up.
First, I have my customized toolbar. I can't remember if the default one
has icons on it for
Tale it easy
Do it the old way like in SYS1.PARMLIB
go to the profile of your session ( something.WS in your pcomm directory)
mine is here :
F:\Program Files\IBM\Personal Communications\private
edit it with notepad or whatever and change the V to a F in the
XferTypesMVSx=
for example
XferTypesM
Well, I use Attachmate all the time and I upload FB files all the time...
If no one else can assist, I'll login and force my brain cells to remember how
I do it.

LOL, I remember going through the same pain. I eventually gave up and started
using the ISPF Workstation Agent (WSA), and I've nev

On those extremely rare occasions when I use IND$FILE, I open a Windows
Command Prompt and issue the SEND or RECEIVE command directly. GUI be
damned!

I switched to FTP after attempting to use PCOMM - less forehead botox exercises
& less stress.

I set up several new transfer templates to cover the common but not default
formats for my transfers. I have an BIN-F80, BIN-F4096, TXT-F80, etc.
Go to Edit | Preferences | Transfers | MVS and then you can type in a new
name for your template, then fill in the details and click on SAVE.
