The ISPF display for special files only says "Char", which doesn't tell you enough.
To see what it really is, you need to do "ls -al: command: On my z/OS V2R4 system: > ls -al /var/CEAServer srwxrwxrwx 1 OMVSKERN OMVSGRP 0 Mar 21 13:47 /var/CEAServer The "s" means that this is a Unix-domain socket file. These are created by a program that does a "bind()" in AF_UNIX. I don't think that you can copy or create these otherwise. I'm not sure what this is for, but if you want to move it from /var, I would look at some CEA documentation to see if the location is configurable.
