I feel like a fish out of water. I ordered z/VM 6.1 to be delivered electronically, which may have been a mistake.
* I have downloaded to the PC, and uploaded to a VM disk, the files pointed to by the notification letter. These were files that have TERSnnnn file types. The recfm/blksize are F/1024. * I DETERSEd the ones identified as the System DDR. These files are V/4095. Now what? I find conflicting instructions. Depending on where I look, I see (1) no DETERSE step, which cannot be right for these files, with instructions that say that the files must be fixed/1028, which fits neither the before nor after DETERSE lrecl, or (2) the DETERSE step is included followed by a reference to a non-existent manual. I see no reason to DETERSE the other files until I have, as Paul Harvey used to say, "the rest of the story." That will only give me more files that I will probably have to erase when I must try some different download. I opened an ETR after running around in circles until I was dizzy on the support web site pointed to by the notification letter. I have no idea when I will get a response. The list is usually faster. Please Help!!! Regards, Richard Schuh
