I then transfer the resulting file to my PC (Windows or Linux). But the secret is to use the commands: bin quote stru r get dfdss.file Then, on uploading to the z/OS system which is to read the file: bin quote stru r quote site lrecl=? recfm=u blksize=? pri=? sec=? tracks put dfdss.file Note: Replace the question marks with the proper values. That is, the ones from the original z/OS dump file. If you are going z/OS to z/OS, you should be able to: bin stru r quote site pri=? sec=? cylinders put dfdss.file Note that you don't need to specify the LRECL, BLKSIZE, and RECFM in this case because the z/OS ftp client sends that automagically. Also, you don't use the "quote" on the "stru r" because there is z/OS on both sides and so both sides need to be set to record mode. Most non z/OS systems (OK, Windows and Linux) don't understand record mode transfers, so the "quote" prefix is required so that they don't get confused. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
