Tim, I don't understand the last paragraph. When you move AFP resources around, just use binary all the time. There is no such thing as blocks or records on the PC, and then you do a binary upload to a VM file that is RECFM V and then run AFRREBLK to fix it.
If you enter afrreblk ? it gives some brief help. The comments inside the exec explain what it does and the syntax better. Upload the files with something like UP300 for the filetype, and then you could, in FILELIST, do something like EXECUTE * AFRREBLK / = FONT300 A ( FONTLIB 300 to create the reblocked FONT300 files. AFRREBLK will separate the file into records with one structured field per record. See the comments in the exec for details. Does that help? --Roger On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 4:32 PM, Tim O'Brien <tobr...@tobe.com> wrote: > Hello > > Ok I took the Zip file and extracted the fonts ... > > Yep the 240 are not needed .. but just in case I'm doing both and watching > my filetype names > > So now I have the Files as they would be on MVS .. but sitting on the PC .. > likely not blocked as why would you need that, when the library should be > loaded on an "mvs" like system .. > > That is why I used VMARC ..
