I have tried to shortcut such a process at this point by:
// EXEC PGM=FTP
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=YOUR.VB.FILE,DISP=SHR,RECFM=U,BLKSIZE=32760
//INPUR DD *
...
binary
put DD:SYSUT1 ...
...
Only to be dismayed that FTP apparently reads the DSCB and lets that dominate
attributes coded on the DD statement.
This is a significant transgression of MVS conventions.
