Re: File transfer from AS/400 to MVS

Don,

It is likely that the target file on the S/390 is not set up for
Generational Dataset names. The (+1) suffix on the file in the put statement
is invoking this logic on the S/390. But the 501 error is indicating that
the target file does not support this capability. A GDS set on the mainframe
is like a multiple member file on the AS/400. The (+1) means automatically
create a new member for the received data. You will need to provide this
error message to the Sys Admin on the S/390 system.
