No, this was definitely no resource constraint. FTP *without* uk28004 (1.8) does NOT support dsntype=large (basically a primary allocation that is bigger than 64K trks). Once I had found the apar/ptf (artfully hidden using the normal search words), and we had it installed, the ftp went through without a problem. The terse before that didn't work, either (rc99), it abended after the limit of a mod3 was hit. I had to get amaterse installed in order to be able to compress my >8000cyl to >4000cyl. Thanks for reminding me to put out the solution to this. Best regards, Barbara -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
