I just tried your suggestion, but my results weren't quite what we might have expected. My test involved downloading a member of a PDSE having the attributes DSORG=PO,RECFM=VB,LRECL=255,BLKSIZE=32760. When I uploaded my test data back to the mainframe, the RDWs were included as part of the data and the original record boundaries were lost. Here's my FTP session: 230 ERIC1 is logged on.
