RE: FTP z/os dataset to ISERIES library

["Laine, Rogers" <rlaine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The record length=3615 and FB on the Z.

The file on the I is not predefined, it is defined by the FTP job.

What is the syntax of the TYPE command?

Thanks

What is the record length on both systems?

Not necessarily. Use the TYPE command to ensure both systems know they
are to transfer in EBCDIC.
