As Paul mentioned it does work and is relatively simple to set up. Depending on the size of the server you are connected with, it can run extremely well. We often access 40GB files with extremely quick response. You may need to specify a DCB to get some of the I/O to work just right. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 1:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: z/OS NFS Clients In a recent note, Alan Brown said: > Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 11:39:53 -0500 > > I searched through the archives and could not find a good answer to this > question. > MVS-OE might be a better list. > We have a need for z/OS programs (batch jobs) to access flat files that are > on some distributed Unix boxes. > > 1.
