Hi,

I am trying to transfer a zipped file to the mainframe using PCOM v5. I have had success using the Extra terminal emulator, by specifying a binary file and recfm = U, lrecl = 0, and blksize = 6160. However with PCOM, I get errors in the transfer, which fails, and the options I have setup do not retain the 0 lrecl. The error messages are worthless, just report that it failed. Anyone using PCOM to transfer zip files ? Thanks.

pete,

If Variable(V) and Undefined Mode(U) are specified as the record format, the logical record length is the maximum record length within a file. The maximum value is 32767.I guess that is the reason as to you don't retain the 0 LRECL.

Check this link(at the bottom of the page) for PCOMM documentation

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/network/pcomm/library/

Why don't you post the error messages? It might be helpful in solving the problem

Thanks for the link.

I tried using defaults for the binary file transfer and the transfer worked. Just a note, LRECL=0 works for Extra.

Thanks for the pompt response.
