That should work as well. I suspect the problem is that you are trying to FTP into a VSAM file instead of into a flat file, which can cause problems.
If you executing the FTP with your PC as the local system and VSE as Remote this is required unless you've built some predefined flat files into your VSE FTP config. If you can move the Linux files from your PC to a server that is running FTP, then you can initiate the batch version of FTP from VSE and write the flat files need for creating the tapes. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Noll, Ralph Sent: Monday, July 26, 2004 2:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: mp2003 Ok then how do I get it to tape..
