BTW, in addition to what I sent, you should know that a writable virtual optical drive can be read/written from non-v5r3 boxes using the /FileSvr.400 file system.

Intriguing! I leave the actual solution to the reader!

Vernon,

Please send  few example command lines to explain
 how can I transfer AS/400 libraries by the Virtual drive
 from V5R3 to V4R5.

Regards,

This can be an all AS/400 solution, too. The virtual optical drive is
really an IFS object the size of a CD (or DVD for that matter). At V5R3 you
can create an image catalog with multiple entries. The save will span them,
just as it does with tape. Then the corresponding IFS files can be FTP'd to
your V4R5 system - again, it's just an IFS object - no VRM information in
that object, only in its contents. And you have the extra benefit that you
can burn the images to plastic if you want.
