Thanks to Lynn deWitt who correctly wrote:

And to James Gallagher and Mick Spillane for suggesting I point to
the dataset without constraints and let ferret specify the subset.
(I don't know if the whole data set is moved across the net or just
the subset).

I'm obviously new to LAS,GDS,Ferret, etc. So please, may I trouble
you once again. Why doesn't the following work?  Any ideas? Here
I am just trying to print out a minimal set of numbers to force
a transfere of data.
