Pieces needed: 1) x3270 on your desktop, or some other TN3270 emulator which can do "file transfers" via IND$FILE. 2) An IND$FILE program on the z/Linux instance, running under z/VM. Method: Use the 3270 emulator to connect to VM via VM's TCPIP stack. Use the normal z/VM LOGON command so that your 3270 emulator is talking to the Linux "console". You know, the one where you normally do a #CP commands such as IPL. Use x3270 to initiate a file transfer. This invokes the z/Linux version of the IND$FILE command (yet to be written). You can now download the file which is giving you problems to your desktop. Use your favorite editor to make whatever changes are needed. Now upload it back to z/Linux using the upload facility of IND$FILE. Now, issue the appropriate z/Linux commands on the line-mode "console". Someone else is mentioning Kermit. I'm not familiar with it, but if it already exists for your desktop and on z/Linux, then that can work as well. Basically, your doing "ftp" via 3270 datastreams instead of IP. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
