Re: Does anyone have JCL to unpack a PDS?

2008-09-08 Thread Maddry, Gray
I don't see where IEBCOPY or PDSFAST is involved in FTPing to your PC. If you are doing an IEBCOPY unload before FTPing the files won't be readable on the PC anyway. That aside I would change your profiles and unpack those datasets. Any change in blocksize will make those datasets unreadable.

Just a thought. When I setup for z/OS V1.9 serverpac I had a full MOD9 (10017 cyls) to download it. It fit very nicely without having to create a VSAM Extended foramt. If you are only downloading the z/OS V1.9 Server pac then it will fit nicely in one big fat zFS or HFS file on one Mod9.

To refresh memories, when z/OS V1R9 was implemented there was a SDSF problem reported with very, very poor performance. It was tagged OA24615 and was opened up back in early 2008 or maybe earlier. I have been very vocal with IBM about the impact it is causing my Production Control staff
