Long ago in a galaxy far away I wrote a subroutine that allows, with a single
OPEN, QSAM I/O in PL/I for multiple members. Were I to provide a similar
facility for REXX, would that be of interest?
Note that I don't have access to FAMS, so this would be strictly PDS.

Not that mystifying. None of those tools try and do key authentication by

Oh, just as a F.Y.I, WinSCP and Putty only support using Putty's PPK file
