it is an interesting feature of ftp on an mvs system.  If you send
"type=jes" the file is read by the internal reader.  however, if you will
want held output, you will need to check with your systems folks about
which they recommend.  To get output held in the appropriate class, you
can ftp back to mvs, give the "type=jes" stmt, then type "dir" to see your
held job output.  You can get it with something like get Jjobnum.n (where
"n" is the number corresponding to the portion of the held output you
want - ie output written to SASLIST might be in J1066.5 ).  To get all the
output (JES, JCL, etc) use "get  Jjobnum.x" (where "x" is x).  If you
wanted to get fancy, you could probably have your MVS pgm execute a
program (rexec or ftp) that transferred the output back to your unix (nt?
os/2?) box, though I'd be concerned about embedding a password in a
program.  --Joe
