I used IND$FILE.
I prefer WSA because it is very easy to automate using Rexx.

Why all the love for IND$FILE? ISPF's workstation agent (WSA) is a far
superior solution to the problem of sending files between your work station
and the mainframe. Easy to automate (see the ISPF FILEXFER service) and is
included with ISPF at no additional cost.

You might be right, I can't remember. I was certainly using microfiche into the

However, MVS as a program product was a few years before 1983.
