I think this is your best bet. Once in z/OS, you can do something like the
following at a UNIX prompt.
for i in *.BIN;do cp -T ${i} "//my.pds(${i%.BIN}";done #copy members to PDS
The ${i%.BIN} tells the shell to strip the .BIN off of the end of the file
name.
Too bad your PC is not running Linux or some other UNIX variant. You could
do the following:
{echo "??userid??"
echo "??password??"
echo "lcd my.pds"
CD "the file server directory"
for i in *.BIN;do
echo "put ${i} ${i%.BIN}"
done
echo "quit"
} | ftp -v zos.server
Of course, replace ??userid??, ??password?? and my.pds with the proper
values. Perhaps a Windows guru can fake up a PowerShell equivalent.
