Classification: Public I wonder if these are IEBCOPY unload format - that is, IEBCOPY from a PDS to a PS. It's been years since I had to deal with those, probably since I installed products directly from a vendor tape (one of those round things with the write-protect ring).
IEBCOPY seems to create unload format dasd datasets (here, at least) as Organization . . . : PS Record format . . . : VS Record length . . . : 32736 Block size . . . . : 32740 Worth uploading one of those files as binary and then using an IEBCOPY PS to PDS to reload it?

I have done multiple tests with different utilities (XMIT, FTP, IND $ FILE, AMATERSE) and I have not been able to download them in a valid format. Attached I send in hexadecimal format the beginning of one of the PDS (loaded as FB, lrecl = 80) and it seems that at the beginning of the file is the directory of a PDS partitioned file. If the file is loaded as FB and 80 bytes long, you can see the code in EBCDIC format. The original file is in format binary and I have loaded it in binary. I would appreciate your help in this regard. Thank you very much in advance.
