Which data? From what?

You might get better answers sooner if you
explained what "Connect Direct" means to you,
and what connection, if any, any of this has
with HP-UX. (Or find an appropriate forum.)

For the Connect:Direct file transfer software, you will have better results by contacting Sterling Commerce:

I still know nothing, but it looks as if
pairs of "\" characters everywhere might work
better than single "\" characters. UNIX
shells and other programs do tend to treat
"\" as a special (escape) character.

Hi Steve and Bill,

The issue here is truncating the '\' character while Connect Direct 'Submit' Process.

I'm trying to send file from Mainframe to Windows machine. There is no issues with the File or Data.

Before Submit process: TO (SNODE DSN="\\test1\test2\&DIR")

After Submit process: TO (SNODE DSN="\test1test2&DIR")

This is the issue and I'm looking for some solution in this. Hope you clear and if still need more explanation, I'll send you.

Step1 Copy From (PNODE DSN="&DSN") -
TO (SNODE DSN="\\test1\test2\&DIR")
COMPRESS

Thanks and Regards,

So, you're dealing with z/OS and Windows, and
a third-party file-transfer product, and
you're asking about it in an HP-UX forum?

Why?

Your replies are not consistant.

First you state.

Before Submit process: TO (SNODE DSN="\\test1\test2\&DIR")

After Submit process: TO (SNODE DSN="\test1test2&DIR")

Then

before: TO (SNODE DSN="\\test1\\&DIR")

After : TO (SNODE DSN="\\test1file1")

as if the the first set of \\ passed.

It cannot be both please clarify.

I suspect the your problem is around the \\&DIR where u have many special chars to deal with

I would GUESS at

(SNODE DSN="\\test1\\test2\\\&DIR")

escaping each back slash and then the &

you said"
Before Submit process: TO (SNODE DSN="\\test1\test2\&DIR")

After Submit process: TO (SNODE DSN="\test1test2&DIR")

=========================

I believe what you need (and noted previously) is:
\\test1\\test2\\&DIR

(in other words, you need two "\" wherever you want one in the output)

Proper Append and playing with slashes working ...

&DSN1=\'\ || C: || \\\\ || TEMP || \\\\ ||
