A note for the achives - be aware that working with large screen sizes on z/OS 1.10+ can cause hang conditions in certain ISPF modules unless you increase the HIBFREXT value in TSOKEY00. We had to set our HIBFREXT to 96000 to overcome the problems. Rob Scott Rocket Software, Inc 275 Grove

I have a 43x162 working here on z/OS 1.10. However, to get it, I had to specify a queryable logmode in my VTAM command which connected to the system. E.g. tso logmode(sna3270q) where we created a logmode called SNA3270Q which has the query bit on. When I didn't do this, I got a mod5 screen. --

As far as I know, TLS/SSL FTP or SSH FTP is current state of the art for data movement over untrusted networks. If that's not acceptable, then I suppose your next step is a trusted network. FTP is not a product; it is a protocol. You'll need to acquire software for non Z/os platforms. HTH
