I've been using MVS FTP for the longest time. I've encountered this problem but it never presented much of a problem until I had a problem with someone. Our company accepts SMF data that's been compressed via TRSMAIN (LRECL=1024,RECFM=FB). I wrote SMS routines such that if a user signs in using a certain RACF userid it gets assigned a DATACLAS such that it assigns the correct DCB. I also have the ftp parm file (/etc/ftp.parm) set up to default to LRECL=80 RECFM=FB BLKSIZE=27920 seeing as how MOST ftps I''ve seen is moving XMIT files between MVS and other platforms. My question is this. Why when I use a DOS Window and client to sign on does it assign the correct DATACLAS but use the default LRECL=80 but when I go from MVS to MVS it works correctly. As an aside..I've NEVER understood why IBM sends LRECL 256 RECFM VB BLKSIZE 6233 as the defaults.
