Check your OS390/MVS gurus to see if your site supports NFS clients.  This
should allow you to map a drive letter to a mainframe flat sequential text
file (so says the literature).

Subject:  [SAS-L] using connect with windowsnt and mvs


Hi there gurus.............

I am hoping to get some ideas about how to connect a winNT SAS 8.1 session
to a MVS based dataset or at least to be able to read an MVS flat file
using
my PC based SAS system.  Do I need to run jobs remotely or can I access
data
directly using some FTP type program. SAS 8.1 is on the MVS system too.  I
think that SAS connect is on both systems.

If anyone can supply some real examples of code that they have used I would
be most obliged.

Doug
