I wouldn't call the area you enter commands in via ISPF opt. 6 a "prompt". So back to the OP and guessing that he may have been trying to use IND$FILE for a transfer via 3270 emulation while sitting at ISPF option 6.... Some of those emulators only work when you use the transfer function from TSO READY, so you have to exit ISPF and be at the READY prompt ...er ... TSO command shell prompt. ;-) Mark -- Mark Zelden Sr. Software and Systems Architect - z/OS Team Lead Zurich North America / Farmers Insurance Group - ZFUS G-ITO mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] z/OS and OS390 expert at http://searchDataCenter.com/ateExperts/ Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ Mark's MVS Utilities: http://home.flash.net/~mzelden/mvsutil.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
