Re: File transfer from AS/400 to MVS

Scott,

Good memory! I checked one of the MVS samples in our product and found the
file name surrounded by double and single quotes:

    "'the.file.name'"

In case that is confusing:

   (double quote)(single quote)the.file.name(single quote)(double quote)

This might work if the three single quotes on each end of the file name does
not work.
