Eventually you are going to find that files contain so many records
(perhaps some with very large LRECLs) that using SENDFILE is no longer
productive.
Not only that, but SENDFILE (aka TRANSMIT or XMIT on TSO) and RECEIVE have
significant CPU overhead, as they have to break "wide" files into files
with records that can squeeze through your narrow 80-byte wide virtual
punch, and then be reconstructed by "RECEIVE" at the target destination.
FTP will do the trick, but it's difficult to script, and to handle bad
return codes, etc.
Download the free VMFTP package and you'll be on the way. The VMFTP
package can be obtained from:

Re: Sending files to JES
I have 130 lrecl log file that is stored on operator's 191 disk. I need
to get it over to our MVS side so we can store it in mobius. It appears
since its greater than 80, I'm running into the problem described below.
If I use send file, the file is jumbled on mvs side. Hopefully this is
enough detail.
Thanks
Scott

If you're sending to a TSO user, just SENDFILE fn ft TO user AT mvsnode.
It gets packaged up in NETDATA format.
If you're submitting a job, then you're limited to 80 bytes. If you are
doing printing, then you need to use the PRINT command and a virtual
printer (1403, 3800, or AFP).
Tell us more about what you're trying to do.
