Dr. Merrill, That is interesting. What about if you then needed to upload that file back to z/OS? I was thinking you could use RECFM=U, but then realized that the RECFM=U still has block boundries which would make reading the file difficult. That is you could not upload as RECFM=U, then just use JCL DCB=(RECFM=VBS) to read it. -- There is nothing more pleasant than traveling and meeting new people!
