If the original file is stored on an NFS capable server, you could use the CMS NFS client instead of FTP and read the file directly from the server. At the z/VM side the file will appear to be a BFS (Byte File System, special filespace type in SFS). Traditional z/VM compilers -like PL/I and Cobol- will not directly read BFS files, you could make them use CSL calls to perform the reads. C and CMS/Pipelines have no problems to read BFS files, eg PIPE <OE bfs_fileid | xxx
