You can probably use File Transfer Support (FTS). Extremely easy to set up if 
you already have an SNA configuration. The API is QY2FTML and is documented in 
the old ICF manual. It's mostly forgotten today but still works as it always 
did. The big downside is the member-by-member nature of the transfer. Call 
QY2FTML for each source member in each source file. It can be called on either 
system depending on whether you're going to [send] or [receive]. You could 
submit the calls to a multi-threaded jobq, I suppose, or even have it running 
against different lists of members on both systems.

It does a very good job of preserving all source attributes such as SRCDAT for 
the source lines.
