Copy file from PC to mainframe - more control

when coping a from from the PC down to the mainframe, give us the ability to control how it is defined on the mainframe. During the copy let us define the LRCL and the FB vs VB. When fixed block we need to be able to have it space filled or give us the oppertunity to control the fill char.

    No one can seem to tell me how to do this if it is deleivered. The Allocate like creates a file, yes. My problem is I have a data set on the PC. I need it copied to the Mainframe. It must have a lrecl of 100. When I do a copy paste it defaults to the size of the record on the PC making it 80. I never get an option to allocate like, on the copy from the PC. Allocate Like doesn't give me an option to get and build with a copy or record.
    I would like to be able to select a data set on the PC or mainframe with a copy, then indicate a paste and be given the option to allocate like and control the LRECL. If this can be done, can you please provide documentation or direction of how to do it.
