Hi Steffen,
Thanks for the help. I've tried this initially without the locsite command
just like in the documentation and I get the files in a variable record
format. So far so good.
But the moment I run the SLES11 EXEC I get this:
sles11
1 +++ /* REXX LOAD EXEC FOR SUSE LINUX S/390 VM GUESTS */
?
DMSREX460E Error 13 running SLES11 EXEC, line 1: Invalid character in
program
Ready(20013); T=0.01/0.01 16:55:38
When I open the SLES11 EXEC in XEDIT I get this:
===== * * * Top of File * * *
!...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7...
===== /* REXX LOAD EXEC FOR SUSE LINUX S/390 VM GUESTS */
"/* LOADS SUSE LINUX S/390 FILES INTO READER
===== * * * End of File * * *
I have the impression that the ASCII translation doesn't happen correctly.

Please try to leave out this command. It is only required for the files
that need to be transferred in binary mode.
The SLES preparation guide uses the following order of commands in
example 4.7 (p.57), which works for me:
binary
locsite fix 80
<download binary files vmrdr.ikr and initrd>
ascii
<download ascii files parmfile and sles11.exec>
According to the z/VM TCP/IP user's guide (SC24-6127), the CMS FTP
client resets the record format with the ascii command:
<quote>
Use the ASCII subcommand to change the transfer type to ASCII, and at
the same time change the record format used to store local files.
Note: The ASCII subcommand causes files transferred to the local host to
be stored as variable-record (V) format files.

The above two files should be in variable record length format.
