Re: Can't VMARC LIST or UNPACK the RXDASD VMARC package
John, I just downloaded it without any problems. The steps I took: From XP: right-clicked on the V-710K for the RXDASD package, choosing Save target as to a directory on my PC. On the PC: opened a DOS-box and issued: SEND RXDASD.VMARC b:RXDASD VMARC E From VM (on Pcomm session b:), issued: FileList * * E and saw: Filename Filetype Fm Format LreclRecords Blocks Date Time RXDASD VMARCE1 F 80 9080178 3/13/06 10:13:26 On the '===' command line for that file, issued: VMARC UNPACK / = = e (OLDDATE All the files unpacked perfectly. Now... at some point in the past I may have set a PComm file transfer default for .vmarc files, but don't find any evidence of having done so at this time.

I'm not sure, but I think an LRECL of anything other than 80 can cause this type of problem. Jack [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/13/06 10:19 AM John, I just downloaded it without any problems.

Thank you everyone; I didn't RTFM; Kevin put me straight: reblock the file to fixed 80-char recs before using VMARC. -Original Message- From: VM/ESA and z/VM Discussions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neubert, Kevin (DIS) Sent: Monday, March 13, 2006 11:37 AM To: VMESA-L@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Can't VMARC LIST or UNPACK the RXDASD VMARC package Give this a try first: PIPE RXDASD VMARC fm | FBLOCK 80 00 | RXDASD VMARC fm F 80.

Re: Can't VMARC LIST or UNPACK the RXDASD VMARC package
John, make sure the VMARC file itself is in recfm(F), lrecl(80) format. If it's not, a common symptom is being able to read just the first file in the archive. If it's not in the correct format, this will fix it: PIPE rxdasd vmarc a | FBLOCK 80 00 | rxdasd vma a f' then try the vmarc command against the vma file. Good luck.
