My understanding (I may be wrong) is that support for //DD:ddname was a by-product of a change in one of the C routines used by the FTP client, i.e. it's not something that resulted from a change in the code for the FTP client itself. ISTR //DD:ddname was introduced in OS/390 R9 or R10. A few releases later (z/OS 1.2 IIRC), VSAM support became available in the FTP client through the same mechanism, but it's neither documented not supported. Again, this is my understanding, don't take my word for it. -- Gilbert Saint-Flour GSF Software http://gsf-soft.com/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
