I'd like to experiment with one that is actually Blocked (multiple segments in a block) and Spanned (multiple segments per logical record).
I find that with BINARY; TYPE E; MODE B; I can FTP PUT my VB file intact. The SENDSITE helps a lot. And I can FTP GET it with the same options *provided* I first copy the SENDSITE echoed on the PUT and issue it as a LOCSITE command. I believe (but where's my PoC?) that I could synthesize on a desktop, non-z, non MVS/380 system a binary file that I could PUT and reconstruct a RECFM=VB data set (with either STRU R or TYPE E, MODE B) or RECFM=VBS (only with TYPE E, mode B). But the OP seems more intent on whining about the failure of the technique he's fixated on than switching to an effective technique. It's more complex than he'd like, but things are tough all over. SMoP. And he wants to be able to read the envelope file on a PC, but he hasn't mentioned the EBCDIC<-->ASCII problem. Perhaps it's considered a given; SMoP again. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
