Well, this does work. But now I'm wondering a bit. In the order are two files ending with .pax.Z which is a compressed pax archive. Part of what SMP/E does is unwind the pax file. This took a while to do. What was left on the NFS server was two files. One ended with .SMPMCS and was, as expected, SMPMCS control statements. The other ended with .SMPHOLD and you guessed it. What I'm wondering is why couldn't I unwind the pax files on the Linux system myself, then point to the resulting files with the JCL. This would offload the unwind onto the Linux system and avoid the network I/O needed to do the unwind. I think I could just: //SMPMCS DD PATH='...', // FILEDATA=BINARY, // RECFM=F,LRECL=80,PATHOPTS=(ORDONLY) //SMPHOLD DD PATH='...', // FILEDATA=BINARY, // RECFM=F,LRECL=80,PATHOPTS=(ORDONLY) Any reason why I shouldn't do this? -- 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.
