ftp structure command - description

2005-06-09 Thread Brad Taylor
I am looking for a more complete description of the MVS FTP structure 
command. What does it actually do in record mode? Any translation? 
Attributes preserved, contained in data?

What the tcpip user guide says is:

STRucture subcommand—Set the file structure
Purpose
Use the STRucture subcommand to set the file structure.
Format
STRucture File | Record
Parameters
File
Sets the file structure to file. The file structure affects both the 
transfer mode
and the interpretation and storage of the data set or file. With a file 
structure of
F, the data being transferred is considered to be a continuous sequence 
of data

bytes.
Record
Sets the file structure to record.

Any other docs that may contain more info?

thanx
brad

Have you tried an RCF asking for a more detailed description? The doc
people are usually quite willing to improve their documents.
