Alyce, In cases like this it has (to the best of my knowledge) always been an download/upload problem. - Download the files with LRECL and RECFM, and ASCII or BIN as the site requests. - When uploading the files to your VM system, do so carefully following the instructions from the site where they came.
Often they require LRECL 80 RECFM F, sometimes LRECL 1024 RECFM F, and other times whatever the author specified when they packed them with VMARC. It depends... :-) Mike Walter Hewitt Associates Any opinions expressed herein are mine alone and do not necessarily represent the opinions or policies of Hewitt Associates.

Bytes in= 11776, bytes out= 6168 ( 52%). Invalid header for compacted file. Ready(00008); T=0.01/0.01 13:38:10 vmarc unpk cp2kvmxt vmarc a CP2KVMXT EXEC A1. Bytes in= 17652, bytes out= 152800 ( 865%). Invalid header for compacted file. Ready(00008); T=0.05/0.05 13:38:30 I assume that the correct files were created; that is, ?monview script? and ?cp2kvmxt exec? even though I got an invalid header after issuing the commands. Is this the case?
