I cannot guarantee this will work but two things to try.1) Preallocate the new file with your attributes. Restore to that file. DFDSS may honor your file with the blksize you want. 2) Restore the file even if it gets a BLKSIZE of 0. Then use IEBGENER to do the following //SYSUT1 DD * /* yes a null entry //SYSUT2 DD DISP=OLD,DSN=yourfilename,BLKSIZE=4096,LRECL=... When IEBGENER opens and closes the file, it could use your BLKSIZE in the JCL to override what was restored.
I think this should be: //SYSUT2 DD DISP=(MOD,KEEP),DSN=yourfilename,BLKSIZE=4096,LRECL=... With DISP=OLD it will write an EOF at the front of the file. -- Richard ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
