We have seen alternatives, converting the file to some non-VS
format. The
closest I have come to finding a solution mentioned on the internet
was using
SAS and the FTP server IBM used to provide that was written in
PASCAL. So
please tell us how to take the RECFM(VS) dataset produced by using
IEBCOPY
to create a sequential dataset, transfer it to a PC, then transfer
it back to a
z/OS system, and run it through IEBCOPY to populate a PDS.
Transferring the
output of a transmit command or running the file through TRSMAIN is
not the
same.
Err IBM used to have a FDP product that did just that. I am not sure
if they still market it or not. It was not designed specifically for
this it was an hmmm designed to take almost any format file and
create an 80 byte image enveloped inside JCL and send it to the
spool. It was then NJE'd to the receiving system and then
reconstructed into the right format and sent to the utility of choice
(in this case IEBCOPY). The name of the *FDP* was BDT (NOT THE
CURRENT $$$ BDT) we used it thousands of times a day and it never
failed. Quite a record, IMO. IIRC it was 80 or 90 dollars a month
for 12 months.
