I'd just use RECFM=FB,LRECL=1,BLKSIZE=0,DSORG=PS. No, I've never done this. //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD DUMMY //SYSUT1 DD PATH='/path/to/file.tar',FILEDATA=BINARY, // DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=1,BLKSIZE=8000) //SYSUT2 DD DSN=TAPE.OUTPUT.TAR,DISP=(NEW,CATLG), // UNIT=TAPE,DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=1,BLKSIZE=0,DSORG=PS) // Note that the BLKSIZE=8000 on the SYSUT1 doesn't really matter too much. Any valid value will do. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
