This is a bit off-topic, but it may be of interest to others.....
If you take a good look inside the z/VM DVDPRIME exec (which is used to
install z/VM 5.2 from DVD media), there is a PIPELINE specification
towards the end of the code that uses an FTPGET stage......and it
appears that the FTPGET stage puts each record of the retrieved file
into the pipeline. Unfortunately, this FTPGET stage isn't documented
anywhere that I can see.
This would make getting a file from MVS and changing it's RECFM (and/or
it's LRECL, to) trivial. Maybe Mike can give it a try and report back to
the list.
Have a good one.
