Hello Gthia,

Re: Re: FTP KSAM between two HP3000 systems
------------------------------------------------------------------Gthia say's--
  I have a KSAM file (with a key file) and would like to transfer from one HP3k
system to another.
  Tried using the FTP transfer but the target system keeps responding with
incorrect file type error.
  Has anyone use FTP file transfer for KSAM files, would the record structure
information be transferred over as well? Or do I need to create an empty KSAM
file and populate it in the target system?
------------------------------------------------------------------Gthia say's--

  In my test (I found a KSAM file HP4000/HP4000K in PUB.SYS) I was able to FTP
this file on 5.5 and 6.0.

  My 5.5 machine is on FTPFD90 patch, but FTPFD57 5.5 GENERAL RELEASE for BOTH
the Source and Destination systems should do the job as per SR 5000-643163.

  SR: 5000-643163
FROM: FTPEDL1
Enhancement for KSAM (CM and NM) transfer capability.

 My 6.0 machine is on FTPFD91 patch, but this enhancement is included in the
base 6.0 release, so a patch is not necessary.

FYI:  FTP does not know about KSAM data and KSAM key files... FTP is
transferring the files as independent files... It is the users responsibility to
assure both the Key and Data file transfer and data integrity is maintained.
