For z directly to z, I would suggest: MODE C TYPE E
Never binary. Works for every file type I've tried so far with data compression rates sometimes as high as 80% and 'impossible' data transfer rates. Try it; you'll love it. Use binary when you have to pass trough a Windows machine. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of McKown, John Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2010 2:05 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: transferring files between zos's ..snip Yes, it can. But it is easiest if you take the DFDSS output file and use AMATERSE on it. This makes it into a FB/1024 dataset, which is very simple to ftp as BINARY, even if it "passes through" a non-z intermediate node. If you are going from z/OS directly to z/OS, then use MODE B.
