I used IEBGENER to transfer between UNIX and legacy before "cp"
gained the ability to process legacy data sets. I still use it because:
o I like the control it provides over attributes of SYSUT2.
o Inertia. (Does that make me "laudator temporis acti"?)
(I believe a similar suggestion using "cp" has previously
been made here.)
So, I would in a Rexx EXEC:
call BPXWDYN 'alloc dd(SYSUT2) filedata(TEXT) path(''/dev/fd/1'') ... '
...
address ATTCHMVS IEBGENER
then, in the Rexx, or easier outside, pipe that:
... | iconv -f IBM-1047 -t ISO8859-1 | gzip | ...
Redirect to UNIX file. Or pipe to ssh to avoid spending any more
z/OS DASD. Newer versions of z/OS FTP also support (named?)
pipes.
