We have done it. In the Cobol program we set up a data definition like;

I don't know about SMF and capping, but when our processor is capped we know
about it big time. We have a z/10 P01 Uniprocessor and when capping kicks in
it cuts our CPU busy in half and things come to a standstill. We use RMF III
CPC reports to watch how close we are getting to being capped.
The first two bytes are 'FF FE'. I tried saving it with UTF-8 and it removed
all the nulls and looks correct now. Now just need to talk to the client to do
this when they save the file.
Thanks for all the help.

You need a file statement to define DATEPARM as a file. You must also have a
JCL DD statement named DATEPARM pointing to the data control data set. The file
statement should be before the JOB statement and look something like

We have been using OpenPGP for approximately two years now. Our usage is very
small. We are only encrypting files for two clients at this point. OpenPGP
