Hi Mike, Actually, If I have to continue this mode of operation where I produce an intermediate file, I'll probably stop using DDR2CMS and just use PIPEDDR to create the LRECL=F file for FTP'ing. I'll have to mod PIPEDDR though, you see we read cylinder 0 from the "real" production pack, and then all the remaining cylinders from a SnapShotted copy of the production pack (but with a different label and different cylinder 0 of course). DDR allows you to do this nicely.

It *may* be faster than COPYFILE. I have not timed it, though.
