Thanks for the reply, Ed. Looks like my transfer produces a file that's
one record larger than yours:
Cmd Filename Filetype Fm Format Lrecl Records Blocks Date
Time
UPLOAD EXEC A1 F 80 2564 51 12/03/08
7:31:25
After I've transferred the file using the site command FIX 80, I get a
file that's 2564 records. I'm not sure why that is. When I try to move
on in the instructions for CDTAPE and extract the contents of the file,
I get the following error (in response to JR's reply):
exec upload extract a
1 +++ /*----------*snip here*----------*/?
DMSREX460E Error 13 running UPLOAD EXEC, line 1: Invalid character in
program
Thanks,
Dave
