Yes. I've run into that myself. It's as if UNIX were evil. Well, OK, maybe it is. . But not as evil as Windows. And, in reality, I like using Linux for my desktop. z/OS UNIX is not as nice, IMO. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Bouleva

As far as I know you are correct. I have not tried to do that. However, my company has found that lots of sites know how to transfer MVS files (even if they are using FTP :-)), but balk at transferring UNIX files from z/OS. So giving them the commands to build an MVS file from a set of UNIX f

OK, I was thinking the OP wanted the contents of a z/OS dataset to be put into a tar file (likely along with its z/OS DSN and DCB characteristics). You're very correct about the pax/tar output data residing in a z/OS dataset. My mistake. pax -wzf "//'SOME.ZOS.DSN.PAX.Z'" will do it. But I mai

Actually pax will support input or output MVS files: you can pax from an MVS flat file to the appropriate UNIX files or pax into an MVS flat file from UNIX files. But notice that the files being manipulated by pax are always UNIX files. I am not sure about tar do this. I have only done it wi

Bottom line: no. tar (and pax) only support UNIX resident files. They do not support z/OS type datasets (PS, PO, VS, etc). You could copy the data into a UNIX file /u/myid/zos.full.dataset.name and then tar that. But you'd need a way to reconstruct it on the far end. Hum, you could use TSO TRAN
