But, if possible, could you explain why the SMP/E Internet download stuff in SMP/E uses UNIX files to store the data rather than z/OS "legacy" type datasets (perhaps compressed with TERSE or XMIT'ed)? The reason that I ask is that to download z/OS 1.10 and install it was a "bother" due to the fact that I need a single zFS filesystem which required 10 SMS managed volumes. That's because zFS files cannot be multivolume unless they are also SMS managed. What I would do in the past was just use some "offline", unused, volumes for this sort of thing. My usual method of doing this is to NFS mount a USB drive on my Linux desktop to z/OS. Weird, but it keeps the storage admins off my case. Just very curious.
