If you code the ID card (the second one) the same way as I did,
that is

USERID BERND    CLASS A NAME TESTP3   PLI
:READ  TESTP3   PLI      A1

you can simply issue READ * in your CMS machine, and the file will be read and
stored as a CMS file (replaced, if necessary).

The first card tells VM to which virtual machine the file has to be sent.

I, too, did non want to do the editing using the VM editors, because there is no
XEDIT (in this old version of VM) and I didn't want to spend the time to test
the other available editors. The solution with the transfer from the PC works
very well. For the other way round I punch the files and extract them from the
resulting PC file, see my definition

000D    3525    /herc370/vm/pun/pun00d.txt ascii

I did the whole work on the Stanford compiler using this approach. The sources
reside on the PC. Hercules and VM is used for compile and test only. (Much the
same way as I do it in my "real" working place with z/OS and the "real"
machine).

Kind regards
