Hi All

I would appreciate some ideas here please.
The environment is a 3K with PC's running Reflections
for Windows.
The users prepare files on their PC's and transfer
them to the 3k using relections file transfer. They
then stream a job to process the files. The job
expects the files to be in a special group with a
standard naming convention. There is a menu program
that allows them to drop into MPE for the transfer and
to stream the job.
I hate this.
I want them out of MPE. Also they get the file name
and group wrong and anything can happen.

The menu program is flexible. I can set up an entry
that will run PCLINK2 when the users start file
transfer in relections. Also a menu entry to stream
the job. That keeps them out of MPE, but does not
solve the file name and destination group.

What I would like is:
1) transfer the PC data into a temporary file of a
specific name.
2) run the programs on line to process the temporary
file.

Running the programs on line is no problems, but how
can I control the destination file name and location?

Any suggestions greatfully received.

Thanks
John Edwards
