I'm still trying to understand this. Are you saying that the target system -- 
i.e., your system -- has no say over what directory path and file name is used 
for the transfer? (The source system decides the library and file name?) Is it 
in fact required that this transfer be received into a database file member 
rather than as a streamfile?

If you could receive the transfer as a streamfile and the transfer resulted in 
an "event trigger", would it then be acceptable for you to convert the 
streamfile into a database format as part of the trigger action?
