If you are referring to the requirements management tool we use, don't worry about. Open a PMR with PCOMM and tell them that you can't find the documentation on how to perform a host-initiated file transfer. Assuming they don't have an answer for you, tell them you want to open a requirement. But remember not to ask for ALMCOPY. Ask for a host command that will initiate a file transfer between the host and the workstation. (IND$FILE requires the workstation to initiate the transfer.) You want the ability to transfer the file in binary and as text. For text transfers you would like the file to be translated according to the current codepage settings of the emulator to avoid having to supply options. You get the idea. Feel free to reference ALMCOPY as an example since they will know what that is. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
