I have a legacy dataset in VB format. I would like to FTP it to a PC (1) translating the record data to ASCII and (2) preserving the LLBB record control words. (Don't need the block control words.) I tried the obvious ASCII and QUOTE SITE RDW but FTP has translated my RDWs to ASCII (rendering them useless of course). Does anyone have a clever trick to translate the "data" portion of the records to ASCII but preserve the LLBBs?
This is a one-time development chore, not a nightly production job. I'm not fussy about code pages and so forth. The dataset is small: 30 records, 20K total. One of you UNIX experts: should I just translate it to ASCII on z/OS first and then FTP it in binary with RDWs? Would someone be so kind as to share the command to do the translate? Again, the existing dataset is legacy MVS, and I need to preserve LLBBs.
