Hello Dave,
Try issuing the z/VM FTP site command FIX 80. This does ASCII and creates a 80 byte record. I have used two different versions. Both work. Cmd Filename Filetype Fm Format Lrecl Records Blocks Date Time * UPLOAD EXEC P1 V 75 2563 41 9/21/07 15:55:30 * UPLOAD EXEC C1 F 80 2563 51 9/07/07 16:40:23 Ed Martin Aultman Health Foundation 330-588-4723 ext 40441 ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Imler, Steven J Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 6:52 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: CA's CDTAPE format Dave, I didn't write those instructions, but yes, it means to FTP or UPLOAD with the ASCII option in effect for the transfer. You didn't specify what error you received when you attempted to run the UPLOAD EXEC, so I can't help you further. If you haven't figured it out for yourself at this point, call the support center and Fran or Kitty can help you out.

It doesn't appear they mean ASCII (by way of FTP), because that doesn't work with the next step of: EXEC UPLOAD EXTRACT A Which generates an error. Is there a command to specify 'text translation'? Thanks, Dave
