Have you looked at the LOCSITE RDW
ftp command? It works for binary transfers. It actually sends (or receives) the 4 byte RDW http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/f1a1b990/5.36 <quote> RDW Specifies that variable record descriptor words (RDWs) are treated as if they were part of the record and are not discarded during FTP transmission of variable format data sets. This applies to transfers in stream mode only. Note: RDW information is stored in binary format. Transfer files in binary mode to avoid the translation problems that can occur if you transfer this binary field in EBCDIC or ASCII mode. </quote> On Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 8:10 AM, Gilbert Cardenas <[email protected]> wrote: > Does anyone know if the following limitation still applies? > http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21188301 > > I have a request to ftp a z/OS variable blocked dataset to a windows server > and then be able to ftp that dataset back to a z/OS system.
