Copyfile with PACK on MVS ?

Friends, When a RECFM V file is transferred through download/upload with a PC, we need to protect the record layout. And when it's non-text you can't stick CRLF between the lines. On VM we normally have people use the PACK option of COPYFILE, which puts enough info in the file to restore the

Re: Copyfile with PACK on MVS ?

TERSE works for both sequential and PDS, but with PDS you have to specify directory blocks on the output to unterse it. In my own JCL I do this: //MYJCLJCLLIB ORDER=BOLAN.MY.PROCLIB // SET SPACE='(CYL,(200,20,250),RLSE)' //UN1 EXEC UNTRSPDS,INDS=TRSDSN. and in my proclib I have

Sergio, You already have the SPOOL and PUNCH command needed. You also asked about the return code. z/OS batch jobs will send you a message through RSCS if you include the NOTIFY statement, either as part of the job card, something like: //jobname JOB (whatever),'S. LIMA', //

If you use XMIT on MVS it compresses into a RECFM FB 80 file and then you use Bin FTP to transfer the file around. The handy thing with this is that when you transfer to the other MVS system you then use RECEIVE and give it and output dataset and it will create the dataset based on the

For me, SFS is enough. In a former life, I did write a complex APPC application that involved code and data in VM, MVS and TPF. That was enough to make me swear off of APPC unless it is absolutely the right tool for the job. If that happens, I will delegate. I have looked at IPGATE. There are
