This may be obvious, but if you're running a vanilla VM system you should increase the amount of spool space defined for the system before you start doing a lot with this technique. You can't crash VM by running out of spool space, but some very weird things will happen that are not obvious how to undo. Also, if you're short on PAGE space, VM will spill paging over into spool, and in that situation, VM can die horribly if your spool fills up with file transfer data.
Thank you all - the RDR option sounds very useful and is yet another secret handshake for z/VM that I will rememeber. Lionel B.
