The program must be able to run without. So no ISPF... FTP is a nice twist :-) that may work (although performance will suck.., but beter something than nothing). <SNIPPAGE> If you "run under" ISPF, you do not have to be APF authorized. You don't even have to run from an APF library. When you invoke PDF services (now integral to ISPF, right?), the service communicates with ISPF as needed and so the cross-over between the TCB you are running under (applications run as a daughter task to ISPF as I recall) and ISPF will deal with authorization issues. SO, you can use ISPF services in a TSO Batch environment (or online for that matter). And probably get done what you need to do.
