For z directly to z, I would suggest: MODE C TYPE E Never binary. Works for every file type I've tried so far with data compression rates sometimes as high as 80% and 'impossible' data transfer rates. Try it; you'll love it. Use binary when you have to pass trough a

I have done this in the past. All I would suggest is that the output Seq file have a BLKSIZE=32760. DFDSS does not care, but I think FTP likes it better when the blksize is understandable. Lizette Tim Brown Wrote: DFDSS can dump all files with say myqual.*.** to a seq dataset. I want

Yes, it can. But it is easiest if you take the DFDSS output file and use AMATERSE on it. This makes it into a FB/1024 dataset, which is very simple to ftp as BINARY, even if it passes through a non-z intermediate node. This is exactly what we do. Bob Shannon Rocket Software

If people don't implement the change properly so as to achieve the intended goal of the change, it could be worse than useless. That's my concern: IBM: We've closed a security hole with a new SAF Facility. Customer: Good! What was the hole? IBM: For system integrity reasons, we can't tell you.
