Hi Brent,
A CARLa sample for reading a USS file is the following:
deftype type=uss#
alloc type=uss# path='/home/user/text87.txt'
newlist type=uss#
sortlist recno record
I modified the 'alloc' statement to
alloc type=uss# path='/home/user/text84.txt' zsecnode=s84node
to read a USS file on a remote system but found that this is currently not supported.
The 'alloc ... zsecnode' documentation only hints at this by saying that
reading remote "system data or data sets" is possible, not mentioning "USS files".

Subject: Is it possible to read a USS file using CARLa, and accross z/Secure network
I know that you can define a file layout and CARLa can read a z/OS flat file. My question is can it read a USS file? And can it read it accross the z/Secure network?
If possible, I'd very much appreciate an example of how to do it?
Thank you,
