I didn't try NFS. My Linux box is down for a while. It (not I) am accused of streaming data at 7Mbs over our external Internet connection, causing much weeping and wailing. I have no idea what could have done this. I didn't do anything. The LAN people said it was "7Mbs encrypted downloads from Fedora". Whatever that really means. > > The alternative is to override to RECFM=U,FILEDATA=BINARY > in JCL and IEBGENER to the Linux NFS server. > > Does Java on z/OS understand RECFM=VBS legacy data sets? Not directly. But I do an FTP with QUOTE SITE RDW or Co:Z "fromdsn" with standard IBM RDWs. I have written Java code which can read this by decoding the RDWs in the code. It's ugly code (IMO), but not too difficult. > > What's the relative cost of CPU cycles on z/OS vs. desktop? > > -- gil about 200 zillion to one <grin>.
