A file TERSEd on MVS can be untersed on z/VM. Here's the JCL to do it on MVS:
//TERSE EXEC PGM=TRSMAIN,PARM=PACK //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //INFILE DD DISP=SHR,DSN=YOUR.INPUT.DATASET //OUTFILE DD DISP=(NEW,CATLG),UNIT=SYSDA, // SPACE=(CYL,(10,5),RLSE), // DSN=YOUR.TERSED.DATASET //*---------------------------------------------------- The output file will be in F 1024 format, so a binary transfer to a PC and then back to VM will to be DETERSEd will yield the original file.
