No, it simply means that all transport steps have to be binary, and you have to somehow get the DCB right on the final step back to MVS.
A word of caution: do not use a Windows file suffix such as 'DOC'. No matter what you say, Windows will ignore the 'binary' directive and translate the file making it unusable. Another word of caution: on the transfer back to MVS, an existing file will always be replaced if it exists. The problem is that the attributes of the existing file will be used no matter what you say. If the attributes are wrong, then your file will be unusable. Your only recourse is to delete the existing file before the transfer. HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Johnny Luo Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 4:48 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: How to save data sets dump(from dfdss) in pc? But there is a question:How to download the output data set from 'trsmain' to my pc? I noticed this on IBM's trsmain site: *Caution: *A dataset compressed by PACK or SPACK should not be modified in any way. If such a dataset is modified, the UNPACK routines are unable to reconstruct the original dataset. (i.e. if using FTP to transfer the dataset, specify binary mode.) Does this mean that we cannot transfer a data set compressed by trsmain to pc? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
