Any incidental occurrence of 0x0D0A in data or metadata will be misinterpreted as a record boundary.
IEBCOPY PDSU are RECFM=VBS. I have successfully moved an IEBCOPY PDSU to desktop and back by overriding to RECFM=U and transferring in binary, both ways. Then, with Rexx I used the BDW images to reconstruct the block boundaries in the PDSU. (A successful experiment; I no longer have access to the code.) SMP/E uses such a scheme to represent unloaded PDSU in SMPNTS. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
