RELATED IDEAS

When coping a file from the PC to the mainframe we need to be able and define the lrecl and file type.

When coping a PC file to the mainframe with the cut and paste, we should be able to change the LRECL that is needed on the mainframe. In copying the file the LRECL always stays the same and we can't create the file correctly. We should be able to either pre crate the file and just drop the data into the file, or crate a new file allowing us to give the needed information.

    RFE has been reopened following PMR# 66658,004,000 with the same requirement.

    In this case, LREC of 1 byte is needed to copy files from Local to MVS on Remote System Explorer.
    Copy/paste with pre-allocation is not suitable because file is in binary format.

    The requested information was not provided and the RFE is being closed.

    This issue does not apply to copying dataset members since their file attributes are determined by the containing dataset. For sequential files, you can allocate a sequential file with the desired attributes, then open the file and paste the contents of the local file into the newly created sequential file. You can also do "allocate like" to reuse the attributes of an existing file.

    Need clarification - Are you creating sequential files or a new PDS ?
