I figure the WRKDSTQ display would allow you to see the percentage sent,
but if what you are trying to do is automate transfer of objets, what I did
was write a message handling program and then sent all my Network files to
one user.

The message handling program monitored for the file arrived message (sorry
I'm light on the details I'm at home) and then pulled the network file
details out of the message, and after some processing restored the objects.

I never bothered monitoring how much had been sent because once I had the
process automated, it didn't really matter to me 'cause I wasn't waiting.

There are some other ways to do this stuff like using the SAVRST command,
or you could make the simple method I used more complex, but I guess it
depends on your needs.
