Hello,
Is there a way by which i can copy the entire file from notepad into my ps?
Or should i just copy in intervals?

Thank you.

You could file transfer the notepad from your machine to mainframe using File transfer

I've been able to copy a few lines from notepad to ISPF EDIT in a TSO session running in a terminal emulator window, but only a screen at a time. For something longer, you want to do a file transfer, as premkrishnan says.

Hello,

Yup, copy/paste is a pain for anything more than a few lines . . . ;)

Lately, everywhere i've been the mainframe runs an ftp server and all of the client pc's have tcp/ip. Using the ftp client on the pc should do just fine.

usually brutal CUT and PASTE from a PC thing to a 3270 screen
will behave quite unpredictably

generally entering in the 3270 screen odd chars
and that will result usually in session errors and loss of the host connection

Hello,

Have you tried to ftp the file?

If not, do so and let us know what happens. If there is some problem using ftp, do NOT say "it didn't work". You need to provide the specifics if someone here is to be able to help.
