>As luck would have it, every original record begins with the same hex value. Can anyone suggest a simple tool -- z/OS, USS, or Windows -- that would reformat the records breaking on every occurrence of a particular byte value? Is it a text file, or binary? If it contains only printable display characters, you could FTP it to windows, and they use an editor to prepend the record prefix with CRLF. Then FTP it back to z/OS. If binary, I would just write a one-off ASM program to recover the original records. It's probably a 30 minute task, easier than trying to learn anything new.
