ANDY,

You cannot FTP LOADLIBS as is (from the DCB info you provided, RECFM=U &LRECL=0)

Try this , Copy the system A file using TSO XMIT. XMIT will convert it FB recfm and lrecl of 80 blksize with a blksize of 3120. Now FTP this dataset using binary ftp

Hope this helps...

Cheers

And by the way, restore the LOADLIB on System B using TSO RECEIVE command on the FTP dataset.

Sorry,

System A is not defined to XMIT file to system B. How to do it by using other way ?

Read the documentation on XMIT and RECEIVE. You can XMIT (and RECEIVE) to (from) a file instead of the network. See OUTDA() and INDA() parameters.

Yes, I can transfer the file into new format (FB recfm and lrecl of 80 blksize with a blksize of 3120) by XMIT used for ftp. How can I change the file back to the original file format (RECFM=U &LRECL=0) used for restore ?
