Hum, I don't see any pax file on my PC. I just see a subdirectory like: c:\DownloadDirector\U00372248_B7133971_PROD In that subdirectory is GIMPAF.XML, GIMPAF.XSL, SMPHOLD (containing a .pax.Z file), and SMPPTFIN (containing another .pax.Z file). I must upload all of these file, which for me is done most easily by tar'ing them together and pax restoring them on z/OS. > You can delete the folder, but for > program products, I > keep it like I would keep the tape.

It is sad when I can get more HD space on my PC than I can justify on the z/OS system for all this, uh, stuff. > > Regards, > Tom Conley -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
