I would first suggest using TRANSMIT's OUTDATASET option to
bypass the spool. With Unix System Services, you can get a
checksum to verify with (from memory, untested):
cp -b "//'data.set.name'" /dev/fd/1 | cksum

Again, generate and compare a cksum.

Using the INDATASET() option of RECEIVE?

I'm more familiar with, and prefer FTP to 3270 emulator transfer. But
that may not be available to you.
I believe that Cygwin can verify the checksum on the PC waystation.
