I used to ZAP a better BLKSIZE into a copy of the XMIT binary (it had to be refitted with every new z/OS release), but nowadays I don't care anymore. I still use XMIT to backup PDS/PDSE data sets and to prepare them for easy sftp transfer as needed, RECEIVE is used to restore a PDS/PDSE dataset, and then one can recover individual members with no sweat.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or concerns! Thank You!

Today, it's used as an alternative to IBMTERSE. It's time for a rewrite that allows it to be functional in today's world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
