I'm confused.
1. The base OS/VS2 3.8 even with every SU. does not support NETDATA;
you need TSO/E for that
2. What's wrong with FOSS?

What's important is not fixed-length, but that the data may
be regarded as a featureless binary stream.

What's important is that utilities in the base system, not
additional FOSS, support the data format. At 3.8:
o NETDATA?
-Load modules
- Program objects?
o Terse?
o zip?

Use FTP BINARY. Otherwise x'0D0A' appearing by hapenstance
in binary data will generate spurious RDWs.
