There was a version of the PCOMM (or whatever it was called at the time) manual that described how IND$FILE worked in some detail. Not as much as that IUO doc that Tom Brennan posted, but enough that I remember the Relay/Gold folks using it as a reference.
It's always bothered me that something that gets used this heavily was all but unsupported--undocumented puts in that category for me. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Seymour J Metz Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2024 5:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Mainframe FTP status The data stream manual is available online. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Basically *nothing* about IND$FILE is documented. IIRC that the 3270 datastream manual, which is out of print, describes the basics of 3270 structured fields. The only way to know the details of how IND$FILE uses them is by hacking.
