We have a tape robot (forget device type). We can share a 3592J drive between the z and distributed systems. It is very important to be sure the data is compatible between the systems. We use "printable" character data and do the EBCDIC to ASCII translation on z/OS. Windows remains "other system" unfriendly.
I use Dovetailed Technologies dspipes to do the copy and transfer using z/UNIX. http://dovetail.com/products/dspipes.html Unlike UNIX iconv, fromdsn can read a z/OS PS dataset and convert to ASCII with Windows CRLF line endings. It would pipe to "todsn" which can also write to a DSN or DD, eg: //CONVERT EXEC PROC=COZPROC //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDERR DD SYSOUT=* //STDIN DD * . /etc/profile fromdsn -l crlf -s IBM-037 -t ASCII "//DD:INPUT " |\ todsn "//'SOME.SEQ.DSNAME'" /* //INPUT DD DSN=some.other.sequential.dataset,DISP=OLD // On Wed, 2011-06-22 at 07:15 +0800, Tsai Laurence wrote: > Dears listers, > question as the subject , any idea ? > > appreciated your idea. > > > Regards, > Laurence > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO > Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html > -- John McKown Maranatha! <>< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
