What John M. suggested in :
URL: http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0705&L=ibm-main&P=290711
... for your configuration with PC client and z/OS server was:
bin
quote stru r
quote site pri=??? sec=??? ... other required LRECL, BLKSIZE, etc
... John M. and I alike are unaware of making anything similar work
with a non-z/OS server.

It seems reasonable to me that the technique above would work with
a PC client; you have an opportunity to demonstrate by experiment
that John M. and I are wrong. If you remain skeptical, I'll have
an opportunity to demonstrate by experiment that you are mistaken.
