I generally try VMARC UNPACK first. If it fails, I try the 'fblock 80 00' approach. It usually does solve the problem. I have had infrequent cases where dumps that I have packed using VMARC could not be unpacked by the vendor without using 'FBLOCK 80 00'. It may or may not be a horrid practice; however, it is sometimes a necessity, whether horrid or not.
Have you a test case that fails without the '00' but succeeds with the '00'? I'd be interested in seeing it. -- gil
