The FTP command used to send file from Optim(setup in SQL server VM) to z/OS is,
open -s:%0 IBMXXXX.XX.XXXXXX.NET ???????? ascii quote site blksize=3120 recfm=fb lrecl=80 conddisp=delete binary quote site blocks PRImary=483640 SECondary=10 put "E:\Data\XXXXX\XXXXX003_DPEXT.000" "''XXXXXXX.XXXXX003.X000''" binary quote site blocks PRImary=9 SECondary=10 put "E:\Data\XXXXX\XXXXX003_DPEXT.500" "''XXXXXXX.XXXXX003.S500''" ascii quote site blksize=800 recfm=fb lrecl=80 conddisp=delete quote site blocks PRImary=3 SECondary=10 put "E:\Data\XXXXX\XXXXX003_DPEXT.JCL" "''XXXXXXX.XXXXX003.JCL''" bye I don't think the FTP process will compress the file while sending to z/OS. I'm using following JCL to execute RECEIVE command. //TSORECV EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 //COPYIN DD DSN=myuserid.XXXXX003.X000,DISP=SHR //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTERM DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD DUMMY //SYSTSIN DD * PROFILE PREFIX(DBWORK) RECEIVE - INFILE(COPYIN) DSN(XXXXX003.I000) SPACE(200,200) CYLINDERS BLKSIZE(132) NEW /* Seen that Size of FTPed file (COPYIN) is ~1.74 GB, but the size of the dataset into which the FTPed file received (DBWORK.XXXXX003.I000) is ~8.91 GB. Can someone please provide insight into why the size has increased after the RECEIVE is executed?? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
