We've never had a problem either. We distribute our product as a Windows .exe (ouch) which uses InstallShield to force acceptance of a license. It then drops a binary blob onto disk. That gets uploaded (F 80) and RECEIVEd, which produces one PDS--also F 80--containing several members. Each of THOSE members is itself an XMITted library, and RECEIVEing those gets you the installation media. Some of the libraries are BLKSIZE 3120, some are larger.
So Charles, I think you're doing ?something? wrong. Wait...you're XMITting into a PDS with a large blocksize? What is that large blocksize, and if you're putting XMITted files into it, why not use 3120 (or 8000, or some other multiple of 80? Maybe that's the problem? Apologies if this is naïve. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Lennie Bradshaw Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2025 1:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Grrr! Yes, TSO TRANSMIT destroys PDSes (Rant) Just tested this on my z/OS 3.1 system and I have differing results to you.
