Paul, The free Co:Z toolkit allows you to support either '00xx' or 'xx00' RDWs for transfers in either direction. It uses SSH rather than FTP as its underlying connection protocol, however.
See: http://dovetail.com/docs/coz/dsp-ref_fromdsn.html In addition, you can also specify "-l mfrdw", which means that the data has a "Microfocus"-style file header and record RDWs. The commands "todsn" and "fromdsn" can be used in three modes: 1) locally, on z/OS 2) initiated remotely from a Windows / Unix client 3) initiated from z/OS, where it launches a script on the remote system which uses commands to reach back into the z/OS server Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies On Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 11:04 AM, Paul Ip <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Wow...Thanks for the reply. > > Oh, it is correct that a windows program will process the VB files from > z/OS. > > It expects the Prefix contain only the length of Data part and the format > is > indeed BBLL (the length is at the 3rd and 4th byte).
