Suppose a EBCDIC file on a tape from IBM mainframe is read onto a Linux
server, and this EBCDIC file on the tape has 100 records with a length
of 13054, is it correct to estimate the size of the file on Linux server
would be 1,305,400 bytes?
Maybe.

"records" often bridged "physical" recordsand in the case of the start-stop
tapes
the usual real "physical" record was the block.
Along the same lines, some tap

Seven folks attended the September meeting of MonadLUG last night.
Charlie Farinella ran the meeting in Guy's absence, and we had a
brief discussion on keeping the administrative overhead to minimum to

Hi,
Suppose a EBCDIC file on a tape from IBM mainframe is read onto a Linux

of 13054, is it correct to estimate the size of the file on Linux server
would be 1,305,400 bytes? Is block size information also needed to
