Hi Johnny, With regard to your query -
"I've dumped some of my data sets via dfdss.These data sets include ordinary PDS, load module libraries and VSAM.It's a logical data set dump and the output is a PS data set on dasd(recfm=u,lrecl=0,blksize=27998)." I had a similar problem when I wanted to migrate some data from my old z/OS 1.3 system to my z/OS 1.6 system. The method I employed was to do a TSO TRANSMIT against the DF/DSS output data set which produced a new data set LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE-3120 if I remember correctly. I then FTP's the output from TSO TRANSMIT to my Windows/XP system, and from the FTP's it to z/OS 1.6 then reversed the process, i.e. did a TSO RECEIVE, followed by a DF/DSS restore. This overcame the error which stated that the first record was not a DF/DSS record. It might be a lengthy solution, but it worked for me. I hope this helps.
