Don't overlook Alan Field's recently posted usermod that removes the hard-coded 3120 block size. But yes, XMIT with corresponding RECEIVE is a very handy way to flatten out and later re-inflate a PDS.

The TSO Transmit command provide a very reliable (and reversible) method of converting a PDS (or PDSE ) into a sequential dataset!! Ex: XMIT NODE.DUMMY DA('SYS1.PARMLIB') OUTDS('SYS1.PARMLIB.TEMP.SEQ') The OUTDS will be allocated with DCB parameters of LRECL=80 RECFM=FB DSORG=PS and BLKSIZE=3120.

I've been following this discussion with some belated interest. Years ago I cooked up something dirt simple to turn a PDS into a SD file using the TSO print command. It wasn't very elegant but it got the job done at low cost. <</snip>> </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
