The problem with a savefile or tape is that on a V5R1 system the TGTRLS 
parameter for saves only goes back to V4R4.  That includes SAVRSTLIB & 
SAVRSTOBJ.

In addition to the DDM & FTP suggestions previously mentioned, you could 
also configure SNADS between the systems (CFGDSTSRV and create a 
distribution queue, routing entry - then WRKDIRE and create an entry to 
send to on the V3R7 system) and use SNDNETF.  You already have the SDLC 
passthru connection and SNDNETF (SNADS) can use that.

First choice would be to put everything into a save file, and FTP it from
one to the other. Or save it to tape, and physically move it to the other
box.

But you might not be able to make such a large backward jump (which is an
argument for doing your development on the oldest version of the OS that
you're ever likely to have to support). The fact that it's source you're
moving around, though, should give you another option: you could try
FTPing the source file itself into an empty source file on the V3R7
machine. That *should* work, and would bypass the prior release
constraints involved with tapes and save files.

But make sure an empty file exists on the target machine; otherwise, if
FTP has to create the file, it will create a flat file, and make a
(probably not very good) guess about record length.
