Bill, Thanks for the reply. No joy though. Does this likely mean I didn't transfer the file to CMS properly? Here is the line of instructions from support:
The required files are in the attached packlib that must be uploaded in binary. FCOPY will be required to extract the files. I tried several different transfers of varying options including F 1024 F 80 F 8192 but they all gave the same messages below. I guess I need to make sure I am transferring the file OK first. I am using the CMS FTP client and BINARY LOCSITE F xxx GET I am probably missing something very basic. Any thoughts? Thanks. listfile clivm740 packeng a (all FILENAME FILETYPE FM FORMAT LRECL RECS BLOCKS CLIVM740 PACKENG A1 F 80 2601 51 Ready; T=0.01/0.01 13:47:05 fcopy clivm740 packeng a (list Input file not proper RECFM Ready(00020); T=0.01/0.01 13:47:09 fcopy clivm740 packeng a = = b (select all File CLIVM740 PACKENG A1 NOT Packed format Ready(00024); T=0.01/0.01 13:47:13 Ed -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Bill Munson Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 1:44 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: FCOPY help Ed, here are some commands FCOPY fn ft fm (LIST FCOPY fn ft fm = = nfm (SELECT ALL good luck Bill Munson Sr. z/VM Systems Programmer Brown Brothers Harriman & CO. 525 Washington Blvd. Jersey City, NJ 07310 201-418-7588 President MVMUA http://www2.marist.edu/~mvmua/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/BillMunson Ed Zell <ewz...@illinoismutual.com> Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> 12/09/2009 02:28 PM Please respond to The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject FCOPY help I received a file from DB2 support that is in FCOPY format. I have never used it before, so I downloaded it from the VM developer pages and ran it through VMARC. It looks like that went fine as I now have the FCOPY modules, help files, and XEDIT macros. I am dense today though and can't figure out the syntax from the help file. I have one file that is a packlib called CLIVM740 PACKENG that I transferred in binary to CMS and it is fixed length, 80 byte records. It should contain about 12 files that are named ARIxxxxx MACRO. I also have a question into DB2 support, but I thought I would try here too. Can someone please share the syntax needed to unpack this file? Thanks for helping out an FCOPY rookie.
