CONNECT:Direct for OS/390 can directly copy VSAM (and many other file types) across a network (or channel) from one system to another.

Contact Sterling Commerce (www.stercomm.com) for more information.

There's a hitch while copying a VSAM file from one system to another using CONNECT:Direct for OS/390.

The VSAM file on the Target node needs to be empty prior to your copy from Source node.
