Hi, If the file is contained within one volume AND it does not span over 6 extents, then it should work. 50GB seems to be a multi-volume file (unless this is one of these 3390-54 or the new multi-GB logical 3390, in which case mvsdasd should be able to read the file sequentially.

If you use the DASD driver recently talked about here, yes. (At least the first volume of it, I don't know about the rest. Perhaps the driver author could clarify that.) I would certainly not recommend it however. The auditors are likely to have a fit. 50GB is not too much to ship over an internal network using HiperSockets.

Hi all... From Linux on z, can I read a z/OS flat file (DSORG=PS) on a pack where I have read access to that DASD volume? What about multiple extents across multiple volumes? (It's a 50gig file.)
