I do have a data transfer request (.dtt) but I've tried running it from a CL program using RFROMPCB and always get some type of error. I'm very close to getting it to run though, so why should I go through the work of using NetServer or Scott's highly regarded programs? Do you not recommend using a .dtt in a CL?

I've never tried to automate a data transfer request as you mention, so I can't really comment on that specifically. My problem with the data transfer request method is that IMHO it is overly sensitive to variations in the data, and doesn't handle strings that might include numbers very well. It could be that I just haven't looked into it very carefully. Personally, I prefer the flexibility of processing the stream file myself.

Depending on your situation, I'm sure the data transfer request could be just fine once you get over the RFROMPCB hurdle. Sorry I can't be of any help with that.
