Not sure what your problem is, and what you consider a "QSAM file format". An AFP datastream, when created on z/OS is nothing more than a sequence of variable length records. Rendering software, such as ISIS Papyrus, write the records using plain normal z/OS, i.e. QSAM. When is comes to send the data to some other platform, just use FTP in *binary* mode. When you receive AFP datastreams generated on non-z/OS platforms, you must "reblock" the data. This "AFP" speak and a bit misleading. What it does is to split the byte stream received into variable length records. I may be of more help, if you can be more specific about what your problem is. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
