Another, possibly too weird, technique would be to use GIMZIP. GIMZIP supports the packaging of both z/OS datasets and z/OS UNIX files into a "container" file. It is also compressed and needs to be transferred in BINary mode. And then there is the CBT tape method. Use TSO XMIT for all the z/OS datasets. Put each XMIT in a separate member of a PDS. Use z/OS UNIX pax to make an archive of all the UNIX files. pax can output that directly into another member in the same PDS. Then either XMIT that PDS and transfer it, or TERSE it.
Just pointing out some alternatives. I, personally, have done the latter (XMIT) but only because I submitted it to the CBT Tape and that's how they wanted it done. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
