A file sent this way will appear without spool filename/filetype in RDRLIST. If you've got my FILELIST modifs from the VM download library, you can enter Rename in front of such files in RDRLIST and the spool filename/filetype will be set to the original CMS fn/ft (on condition NETDATA/DISK

I don't know direct (VM) solution, but you may use Linux machine with Ghostscript tools and ssh as the engine (if you have VM 5.4 with ssh). Please send me e-mail if you need more details of that concept. Regards Piotr Gentry, Stephen pisze: Does anyone know of a program/utility/whatever

Thanks to all, I wasn't losing my mind after all. It worked today though I think I did the same things as yesterday. Control cards were right, I had done the SET RDEV, maybe I mistyped the dev type. Anyway, all is well Thanks again. Bob Bates Enterprise Hosting Services w. (469)892-6660 c.

I didn't want to interrupt the thread discussion regarding the proper ID card format and procedures. That's good to have documented on the list. But now that Kris has suggested the excellent CPHOST, I'll offer another simple method disk-to-disk copy technique (usable by those not permitted

New Twist Re: Old question

2009-12-18 Thread Bill Munson
Mike, excellent idea - here is my approach to the same concept I define the 2nd level guests REAL address to the 1st level guest to move things to 2nd level and then link/access them that way of course the 2nd level guest is not UP during this process.

And yet another simple approach, if you have VSSI's VTAPE product, that is. Define the 1st-level system's output library to the 2nd level system as a R/O library and the 2nd level's output to the 1st level as R/O. To send data from the 1st-level to the 2nd, simply write the data to a VTAPE.

I've been using this method ever since I migrated from VM/SP 3 to 4. Works great! Only once did I screw up because I had both minidisks in R/W mode and it was easy to recover by reformatting the minidisk. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 46 years
