Hi Peter

Sure - only thing I see is, the method I use puts you into your current library. But you do what you want. If you know where you always want to start, that's cool. If you always want to end up in the current library, do what I did. If you want to go to some other place in the IFS initially, put that in the remote directory, as Rob does.

What is the PERL motto? TMTOWTDI? "There's more than one way to do it."

I guess I'm still reluctant to use a cute trick (initial CD to an IFS path name) instead of a specific command. But that's up to y'all.

Hi Vern,

How about putting /qsys.lib/mylib.lib as the remote directory? You end up using namefmt 1, but you're in the library area.

Now, instead of this, you can set default local and remote directories - set the remote directory to / (root), and the name format will automatically be changed - this is a trick the iSeries does, because it is different from everyone else, by default. I prefer not to do this, since I usually use this to transfer SAVFs, and I'd have to put myself back into the library area again.
