Thanks Dave. Yes, I can get the member selection list to DOWNLOAD multiple members to the PC but I would like to UPLOAD hundreds of members to the mainframe. It appears that 3.7.2 doesn't seem to have the capability to do multiple members. However, this method is quite simple. And thanks, I'll pass on the Simplist at this point as I'm only 1 week into this new position and I'm not aware of the policies here as yet regarding installing personal or other vendor software.

But, from what I remember you should be able to select individual members to transfer, or enter a member pattern on the member list command line; e.g. enter 'S *' to transfer every member in a list. If 3.7.2 doesn't do what you want, send me a message off-list and I'll send you a free copy of SimpList to try. It makes file transfers *very* simple, and gives you a lot more options than you get in 3.7.2.
