Requirement:

I have a file on third party server as DONE.DEPTXXX.ZIP.SENT and I need transfer this file to mainframe using FTP with the below requirements in a JCL.

1.File DONE.DEPTXXX.ZIP.SENT should be renamed to DEPTXXX.ZIP and unzipped to DEPTXXX
2.DEPTXXX file should be transferred to mainframe with 230 lrecl.

Can this be achieved without modifying the original file at the third party server by?

I'm a bit confused. Can you describe what step gets done where? Don't you have to transfer DONE.DEPTXXX.ZIP.SENT to your system first?

Superk,

1.File DONE.DEPTXXX.ZIP.SENT exists on third party server which should be transferred to our Unix box first.

2. It should be renamed to DEPTXXX.ZIP and unzipped to DEPTXXX.
3.DEPTXXX file should be transferred to mainframe with 230 lrecl.

Hope i am clear.

I don't know why you want to tie up your network bandwidth by moving a file twice, and your disk space by storing it twice, but you obviously have these specifications for a reason. Since the discussions here are supposed to be restricted to the mainframe, I don't think there can be much comment on the first two parts of the process. For the third, why don't you want to "push" the file from the Unix to the mainframe?

Hi,

Can anybody tell me how we are going to do ZIP & UNZIP process through FTP process from mainframe end.

Thanks in advance,

Manoj, the most important thing to know is do you have the PKZIP/PKUNZIP products installed and licensed on your systems?
