If you use TRSMAIN, zip is superfluous, perhaps even harmful. If you
use TRANSMIT, zipping on the PC saves disk space.
In either case, transfer between mainframe and PC using BINARY (type I)
command. The main trick is getting the attributes correct on final
transfer to mainframe. Easiest to preallocate the target data set. Else:
You may want to use some or all of:
quote site QUOTESOVERRIDE
quote site DATASETMODE
quote site CYLINDERS
quote site filetype=SEQ
quote site blksize=0
quote site recfm=FB
quote site lrecl=80
(lrecl=1024, IIRC, for TRSMAIN).
