It is a decent way to store z/OS data on an intermediate non-z/OS host. And the output from the STRU R is documented and not really all that difficult to decode on a non-z/OS system so that it _could_ be readable. Of course the usual problems about ASCII vs. EBCDIC text, z byte order, and z HFP vs IEEE floating point applies.β I love that the z now supports IEEE float as BFP in addition to the older HFP floating point. > > -- gil > > -- The temperature of the aqueous content of an unremittingly ogled culinary vessel will not achieve 100 degrees on the Celsius scale.
