IBM mainframe integration is rarely needed anymore, but Host Studio makes it simple when you do. Great for legacy enterprise systems. The native Apple experience is the standout feature.
Does IND$FILE transfer work the same across TSO and CICS hosts, or do the transfer settings differ much between the two? Asking for teams that move files on both.
@galdayan1895 The transfer options are specific to each subsystem for TSO/E, VM/CMS, and CICS when uploading or downloading. https://hoststudioapp.ca/features
