Hello and welcome to the forum,

can any one help me out
Probably not with the lack of info posted. Telling us "it didn't work" provides nothing for anyone to use to help you.

Where did you get this "xmit" file? How was it transferred to the mainframe? Did whoever provided the file provide directions on how to accomplish the transfer to be able to use the file? What does the file contain?

As Dick says, there's not much info supplied, you shoud at least put the error message in your post. As a first guess (without knowing the error you got) perhaps you need to put the PS dataset name in quotes...

Please provide more information.

Also, be sure to send the XMIT file to the mainframe as BINARY, 80 bytes. You may need SITE/LOCSITE or pre-allocate it.
