I suspect this is non-trivial. I do not know where any of it is documented, but presumably (for the SNA version of NJE, at least) you could look at JES2 source and reverse engineer the communication protocols. Or you could acquire a product that already does this; there's at least one Windows implementation of NJE shown by a simple Google search, for example. Or you could stick with FTP or some other communication mechanism that already exists between z/OS and your server, which is probably simplest. -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
