Or maybe better, the Byte File System. That would provide a hierarchical storage mechanism for VSE. Yeah, there's an NFS client for VSE, but that's tied to a specific vendor... :( Huegel, Thomas wrote: Your last point.. Wouldn't it be so cool if VSE (zOS too) understood SFS.. Especially now

Hi Raymond, Okay, let's get the obvious question out of the way first, you _are_ running this on the z/OS system, and not on VM? Can you test this on another z/OS system to see if it is consistently wrong? If consistently wrong, then that would suggest a bug. Is z/OS REXX returning

Bingo! My Linux programmer was using the GNU mt command, which evidently was setting compression off. He switched to mtst and provided the compression operand and it works fine now. Thanks much, I'll keep this note in my Linux/VM Compatibility folder for future reference! :) -Mike

The VSE development lab won't be of much help there. As far as they're concerned they already have an NFS client as delivered by the Connectivity Systems TCP/IP Stack (which is delivered as a pre-installed, priced feature with every VSE shipment). Unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem

At least for ESDS files, the VSAM hooks are already there (I don't know if KSDS would be any different or would really matter). The TCP/IP Tools Transparent FTP support is built that way. When a VSAM ESDS file is opened an FTP open is triggered, the data flows to or from the program through
