I think that some of this is a real difference between the way the two protocols work. Using FTP, I can submit a given JCL deck to any host I have access to and authority to run. I can do this without making changes to the JCL itself. Localhost is a valid target for my FTP PUT. I haven't actually used NJE much, but I don't think it supports changing the NJE target from outside the JCL deck. The /*ROUTE XEQ (inside the JCL deck) is the method for specifying the target node. On the other hand, /*ROUTE XEQ LOCAL seems equivalent to an FTP open localhost, and a put of a JCL deck to JES. :) > > > Cheers,,,Steve > > Steven F.
