i was going to say that i didn't think rfa would support what you're trying
to do...however, i thought i'd try to prove my assumption (being scientific,
wirt :-)....

1) i built a ksamxl file on system a
1a) used fcopy to put something into this file
2) opened a dsline to system b and logged onto system b
3) built an identical ksamxl file on system b (let's call it 'x')
4) hopped back to system a
5) issued a file equation -- file x;dev=systemb#
6) fcopy'd from the ksamxl file on system a to *x
7) worked like a charm

so much for assumptions :-)

having done *all* this work -- i'm wondering why you're needing to get data
from point a to b in such an obscure way?  dscopy (which you're essentially
doing) or ftp would be more straight-forward....              - d
