Please ignore this problem. When I went back and read the instructions I saw that I'm suppose to UNZIP FILE001 before I upload it in binary format to the sequential dataset. Once I did that it loaded okay. Just goes to show you, read the instructions closely before you complain. :) Now I

I can't get CBTVIEW to work, I get to the part where it tries to download the File001 and it fails, so I downloaded it to my workstation and uploaded it to the mainframe as a FB 80 9440 file and now I get a message that says build completed (then it pauses for about 60 seconds) and then I get:
