Too many variables. One, was the dump originally created on tape and then copied to disk? Two, did you specify the correct FTP options? Three, were there other platforms in the path? A process that used to work for me:
1. Dump to disk. 2. FTP PUT z/os to z/os using TYPE E MODE C. If you PUT, then DCB information is send automatically. Curiously, space is not. The MODE C doesn't buy you much on already compressed data, but works wonders on all other types. If other platforms are in the path, then TYPE I (binary) is required and you have to be *very* careful with DCB's. And sometimes even an unfortunate choice of a file name under Windows can cause unexpected translations. HTH and good luck next time. And thanks for the object lesson why an untested emergency procedure is rarely a good idea. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gabe Torres Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2005 12:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: FTPing a ADRDSSU file Hello List, During a past DR Test, we missed taking one of our ADRDSSU Physical dumps of a 3390 disk volume. We were able to FTP the data to the site (finally!), but the FTP-ed data was unusable. The data was unrecognizable to the ADRDSSU program. Does anybody have any suggestions on making this process successful. We will be trying it again on the next DR try.
