I have a batch process in zOS 2.1 (soon to be 2.3) that creates a large text file I want to FTP to a zLinux system.
How can I use bpxbatch tar or compress (or ?) to create a smaller file I can ftp instead instead of the original file? I don’t want to use pkzip unless that’s the only choice. Terse is no good because Linux can’t unterse it. Is there a way to specify a DD name for the input and output files, similar to how FTP allows put/get //DD:<dd name> Part two... the text in the file is EBCDIC, but Linux wants ASCII. I don’t see an option to do the conversion. I’ll have to check tr, but maybe there’s a way to use more traditional Unix syntax like cat //dd:in | tr ... | tar -cv //dd:out Cheers, Don ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
