All the other people that answered didn't seem to have a problem and answered specifically regarding the attributes of the dataset in which to store the PDF file. The other stuff in my original post intimated that the PDF would be uploaded to DB2 with a COBOL program and that I would FTP the PDF to z/OS. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
