For all FTP's z/os to z/os, I suggest: MODE C TYPE E ... (in that order) rather than BIN. Use BIN only when the data passes through a Windows server. Yes, even load modules are in ebcdic.
This really pays off for large files: you can expect significant compression and much faster transfer. HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Craig Pace Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 7:29 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: FTPed Load module Blank If you can FTP from one LPAR to the others, that is what I would do. With load modules, you can do a straight FTP, in binary mode, from one MVS LPAR to another one as long as you make sure that both your current directory (machine where FTP was initiated) and your working directory (machine you made the connection with) are both standard RECFM=U LRECL=0 libraries. Example (Send LMODA from MVS1 to MVS2). Notice the quotation marks. >From MVS1 FTP MVS2 user-id pass-word cd 'MVS2.LOADLIB' lcd 'MVS1.LOADLIB' bin put LMODA quit If FTP is not available, I would recommend using IBM's TRSMAIN, available in BCP of z/OS V1R9, available with APAR OA19194 for z/OS V1R7 and z/OS V1R8 and can be download for previous levels from http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/390/trsmain.html. If using TRSMAIN, pack the file using TRSMAIN and then FTP in binary with the same DCB information as the TRSMAIN output file. Then from your receiving system, use TRSMAIN to unpack the file back to the LOADMOD library.

When I tried uploading the FTP'd file to another LPAR I can see it was blank and there no content inside(Its specifically happening for load modules). Here in our shop we are having Monoplex so XMIT is not working. Is there a way to download the Load modules and transfer them to other Lpar with same Content. Any help on this would be much appreicated.
