Just a comment. Does everyone know you can FTP a VSAM file "directly", as long as its done as a z/OS FTP batch process (and not a server process) using the "DD" method. Example:
//EXECFTP EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='opsserver1 (EXIT' //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * put //DD:MYVSAM My_Distributed_File.txt quit /* //MYVSAM DD DSN=MY.VSAM.FILE,DISP=SHR So no need for the REPRO -> QSAM step. You must use the DD method. The following will NOT work: put 'MY.VSAM.FILE' My_Distributed_File.txt ________________________________ From: Paul Gilmartin <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, October 7, 2014 8:28 AM Subject: Re: Accessing VSAM Data from non-zOS platform On 2014-10-07, at 07:48, Scott Ford wrote: > What about IDCAMS (REPRO) -> QSAM -> FTP -> Other Platform > Is REPRO POSIX-pipe savvy? I know FTP is POSIX-pipe (FIFO) savvy. What about Batchpipes? (I imagine IDCAMS (REPRO) | QSAM | FTP -> Other Platform) OTOH I got a bad ABEND when I allocated SYSTSPRT to a UNIX file and issued a REPRO command. APAR closed PRS.
