> "A PDS must be compressed to a DASD."

Does that sentence have any meaning? I would have guessed that it means 
compressed to a sequential dataset on DASD, but a search suggests that it means 
that AMATERSE itself copies the members to a temporary DASD dataset.

A PDS must be compressed to a DASD.
(I suspect it must POINT to update a prefix later.)

And: 
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.ieav100/terse.htm
 Partitioned data sets (PDS), and partitioned data sets extended (PDSE) 
that do not contain program objects.

I see the requirement for "correct DCB information" as a weakness rather
than a strength.  z/OS UNIX files are more robust in imposing no such
constraint.

How does CBTTAPE package UNIX files, targeted either for z/OS UNIX or
for desktop ancillary functions?

It's not obvious to me that a zipped NETDATA archive of an IEBCOPY-unloaded
PDS fixed-80 member is the ideal format for a text document.  But it does
conform to cbttape.org conventions.

It also tends to keep the management types away. What I 
meant when I said, "I'd be happier if things like that

The CBT tape had a history of such troubles (though

adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines..."

Well sort of. I tried to post it as a .txt attachment and it was rejected due

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
