Gil's #1 point caused me issues for transmission of object files to VSE, although with '/*'.
That's why I'd love a DLM option in z/VSE or something similar.

IIRC, I inverted your format and put the TRANSMIT inside the pax instead. Then I uuencoded the pax archive and put it in an instream data set in a batch job. Simply submit the job and it unpacks everything. o It's unsafe to use TRANSMIT output directly in an instream data set because cols. 1-2 might contain "//" or any other delimiter you choose. o In fact, I had to filter the uuencode output through sed(1) because uudecode is hostile to trailing blanks in the 'begin' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
