So the output record from the FTP is two bytes longer than it should be and this results in each logical record wrapping around, shifting two bytes each time. What happens if you pre-allocate the output file with the correct record length? Matthew On Tue, 3 Mar 2015 12:27:15 -0600, Ron Thomas

I usually use a favorite REXX program named RCNVTCAT from the CBT tape (www.cbttape.org), file 542. I find it does a fairly good job of generating the IDCAMS control statements to build the entries for cataloging. It also does a good job at comparing two catalogs and building the control
