I agree that this is a simple way to solve that problem. Too bad that nobody wants to be bothered to do it. They'd rather complain to me about ftp "being broken" because it doesn't do what they want it to do, only what it is documented to do. > > Or couldn't you leave the output.file around normally, and do: > put mainframe.file output.file (would not trigger anything) > rename output.file temp.output.file > rename temp.output.file output.file (would trigger processing) What happens on the Windows side is not under my control. And there is approximately a 99.5273% probability that anything I suggest would be summarily rejected. No, not a good working relationship there. <shrug> We (z/OS and Windows) get paid by the same company, but we are definately not on the same team. > > > Walt -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
