Why not just convert disk-to-disk?  What does the tape intermediate
gain?  Performance?  What code translation options are available
nowadays?  At all costs, avoid OPTCD=Q, which, I believe, still uses
the dreadful IGC0010C translation.

Was compression a requirement?  I don't see it mentioned in the
original ply.

I urge doing as much processing on z/OS, then a simple binary
transfer, originated at either end, to the "distributed" server.
