Peter's answers give an outline of transferring AFP (MO:DCA) data streams.
Since AFP is a binary dat stream, it is not limited to z/OS file systems and
can be sent as a binary file to any other system.
If you have a number of files you need to send, you may find IBM AFP Download
Plus will save

Unfortunately, many of us are intently interested in the aarp datastream ... oh

Where is it coming from? Batch job, server, etc...
Where do you think you can trap it from? At JES, at a printer, etc...
What problem are you trying to solve?
What is the other platform? *IX, Windows, etc...
What will you do with it on the other platform?

Not sure what your problem is, and what you consider a "QSAM file format". An
AFP datastream, when created on z/OS is nothing more than a sequence of
variable length
To output to DSN just specify it on SYSOUT DD. It will be VB with large
LRECL BLKSIZE. Then transfer
as binary. XMITIP at _www.ldsoftware.com_ (http://www.ldsoftware.com) is
useful for these type endeavors. 'bout the only problem is
DOS/VSE where you have to reblock to get card images.
Rudimentary JCL. Not very secure.
Examples of the OUTPUT parameter
z/OS MVS JCL Reference
SA23-1385-00
Example 2
//J6 JOB,'SUE THACKER'
//OUTA OUTPUT DEST=HQ
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=RDR
//OUTB OUTPUT CONTROL=DOUBLE
//DS1DD SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=(*.OUTA,*.OUTB)
//STEP2
