Is there a way to copy a z/OS USS pax file to another z/OS system without using
FTP and have the pax file still be usable when copy completed?
For example:
01) Copy USS file to some type of z/os file on source z/OS system.
02) IND$FILE source system z/os file to USB drive.
03) Plug USB drive into new machine that has TN3270 to target z/OS system
04) IND$FILE file on USB drive to target z/OS.
05) Copy z/os file to a USS directory on target z/os.
Notes:
01) FTP or similar products are not available on the target system.
02) INF$FILE is available for file transfer.
You can pax a file directly into a member of a PDS; if you
have multiple files, each one becomes a separate member.
Then XMIT the PDS into a flat file, and download the flat
file in binary.
To reverse the process, upload the flat file in binary to
the target system; issues RECEIVE against the flat file; now
you have a PDS whose members are pax files. Under the shell
use pax -r to unwind each member into the unix file system.
Done it dozens of times.
