The problem is that the file names are dynamic. I tried to use wildcards in my GET Command. I also tried Rename. Both Commands failed when I used asterisk.eg: Get AS*.dat How do I get around this? The wildcards work when I use them in a different FTP Client Environment like my PC DOS Command prompt. >> CLICK for Jim's answer: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid446318_tax285032,00.html ___________________________________________________________________ :::::::::: DON'T MISS THESE IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND LINKS ::::::::: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= FEATURED TOPIC | Linux & the mainframe Linux is said to have breathed new life into the mainframe, and many IT shops are reaping the benefits.

I have had great success in sharing PCL printers with the mainframe and Windows print. I am now trying to convert PSF local and PSFIP to Printway. I have made the FSS and FSA definitions in Printway and have matched the parms with PSF and JES2 parms. When I try to send output to the definition I get a printway not route message and the output is held. Does anyone have any ideas on what to check or define? Think you know the answer?
