I used IEBCOPY to create a sequentail backup of an ISPF panel library. I then used IND$FILE to transfer the dataset to my PC. Thought I'd test the backup out by transferring back to the mainframe, and got the following when I tried to use IEBCOPY to load the members back.
STEP1 COPY INDD=SYSUT1,OUTDD=SYSUT2 GENERATED STATEMENT IEB1128I *** COPYR1 (1ST PDSU PHYSICAL RECORD) 009400 0000 18100000 180C0100 00CA6D0F 02001810 | _ | 009410 0010 00509000 00001810 3030200F 00007FF8 | & "8| 009420 0020 0D0C000F E5A20000 22500000 0002006B | Vs & ,| 009430 0030 008F0000 00800000 0F000B08 A9120000 | z | 009440 0040 7F000000 80807FF8 00008800 00120000 |" "8 h | 009450 0050 00006A78 00001810 02000000 00009440 | ¦ m | 009460 0060 00006AA8 0C0067E8 00006AA0 00008800 | ¦y Y ¦ h | 009470 0070 00000000 00000000 00000002 3F000900 | | 009480 0080 06120000 20007FF8 00000000 00000000 | "8 | 009490 0090 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 || IEB120I SYSUT1 VALIDATION ERROR IEB178I NOT AN IEBCOPY UNLOADED DATA SET - 1ST PHYSICAL RECORD NOT 64 BYTES LONG - ACTUAL VALUE IS X'001810' The IND$FILE for the GET or PUT operation did not specify CRLF as a parameter. Can someone tell me what I did wrong, or if there is a 'better' way to backup PDS data on a PC.
