I'll repeat my conclusion:
I downloaded the ZIP file too, and it is definitely broken. The
proposed FTP commands are surely wrong too all the time. I don't
recognize the record packing as something standard (but I'm not
specialized in all possible blocking methods). The records are
prefixed by 3 bytes: a flag and a 2 byte lrecl. With a simple REXX
exec, I was able to reconstruct valid files. Followed by some
COPYFILEs to make some files RECFM F.
This was however not enough. The EAGACTAL EXEC has a bug in its
verification process: it tries to COPY the VALTLIB CEXEC/REXXMOD
into EXEC/MODULE on the target disk, but it did leave these files
on the source disk
The files must be uploaded in binary to VM, during upload RECFM and
LRECL have no importance; the records must be reconstructed by
interpreting the 3 bytes the record prefix; what I did with a
simple exec.
For what it's worth, Neale pointed out to me, for IPGATE, that if you
just edit the compiled Rexx files and do a
C/EAGRTPRC/DMSRTPRC/
on line 1, you end up with compiled Rexx that runs fine on a vanilla
system.
