I haven't followed this discussion from the beginning, but for FTPing a ADRDSSU file, you only have to terse this file with trsmain (lrecl 1024, FB), binary transfer (on FTP-PUT use SITE RECFM=FB LRECL=1024 BLKSIZE=6144), unpack and restore, READY !!! If you don't have TRSMAIN, download it from IBM support or use TSO XMIT. (LRECL 80, FB). With XMIT the files are much larger because there is no compression.
Hope this helps Franz Josef ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Black" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2005 4:45 AM Subject: Re: FTPing a ADRDSSU file > > > > > >Another aspect of reading RECFM=U data is that you can't chain the > >>reads together. > > > > > > > >Not for tape, but you can for DASD. > > > Seymour, perhaps I am being dense today, but how do you tell the actual > length of every block? > > -- > Bruce A.
