Hello Gadi, Have you checked VSE-L's archives (actually use Google newsgroup search on bit.listserv.vse-l)? There have been discussions like this in the past there as well.
One thing I remember is that CSI's FTP client may have had issues in the past with RDWs. I think BSI's FTP client works better with this. I know you will have to do a SITE RDW or whatever the command is (too lazy to look it up) to the z/OS server. Otherwise, one thought, similar to the 80-byte idea postulated, would be to convert the data to XMIT format on the z/VSE side, and then do a RECEIVE on the z/OS side. I've been down this path in the past with HLASM ADATA; e-mail me off list if you want to discuss it.

There is no direct connection between the VSE and MVS systems. We have to transfer the file from the VSE system to a ftp server and then from there to the MVS system. Using tapes is not an option since the systems do not have common media. The problem is that the ADABAS backup file has variable length records and the record and block length information is lost during the transfer. Can anyone recommend a way to perform this transfer.
