When I had to do this, I used pax to create an archive of the files that I needed. I then ftp'ed the archive file to the new system and used pax to "unwind" the archive. 1) create a sequential file that is big enough to contain the archive 2) cd to the starting subdirectory 3) pax -osaveext -wvf "//'sequential.dataset'" . 4) ftp 'sequential.dataset' to the new system (if not on shared DASD) 5) logon to the new system to a UNIX shell (TSO OMVS will work) 6) cd to the receiving subdirectory 7) pax -pex -rvf "//'sequential.dataset'" There are other ways to do this, but the above is the simpliest conceptually. It is the UNIX equivalent of doing a DFDSS or FDR dump of the files and then restoring the dump on the new system. -- 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.
