As far as I know, only those files which are established as AFD files in the filelist (there has to be a generic listing) will be distributed via AFD (or FUI if you just want notification of updates rather than the files themselves). Without the generic listing I don't think it will work. You can tell which are AFD/FUI files from the filelist (what you get with INDEX), there will be a generic specification like this: > FILENAME * OWN ALL and then it will show nothing in the nrecs. However, all files in the filelist with that FILENAME will be AFD/FUI files to which you can subscribe. It could be * FILETYPE also. The important thing to look for is that > in the first column.
