One thing you might try is FCOPY with an appropriate blocking factor
on the file equate (what this would be, I don't remember - it's been
a _long_ time since I tried something like this). This would give
you a file on the 3000 that should be readable from your COBOL program.
I know the thoughts expressed here are my own because no one else would claim
them!
