GoodfellowRemailed-To: Info-VAX@SRI-CSL.ARPA: ; I can see no logical way to use open/write/close statements alone and short of writting a program which obviously could prepare an appropriate file do not understand what you mean by creating the file via DECnet? According to the DECnet-VAX Cross Systems Guide CREATE ought to work over DECnet to a DECnet-20 node and produce a Stream format version of the input data. If you must use DCL and do not need dynamic access then either of: OPEN/WRITE dcl dcl.dat OPEN/WRITE dcl dcl.dat WRITE dcl WRITE dcl ... ... CLOSE dcl CLOSE dcl CREATE junk.TXT CONVERT/FDL=STM.FDL DCL.DAT DCL.OUT ^Z (With an appropriate FDLfile.) APPEND dcl.dat junk.txt COPY junk.txt TOP_20_NODE::... COPY dcl.out TOP_20_NODE::... should move the file. -------
