I assume that by "linear" that you mean a zFS or other file on Unix/Windows and not a VSAM linear data set. One might be tempted to say "USS file", but that would result in a complete and utter hijacking of this thread :-)
Also, I'm not sure what tool that you are using to read/process the ADATA files. I do know that when you are using the IBM RecordGenerator for Java (formerly known as the "JZOS RecordGenerator"): https://developer.ibm.com/mainframe/products/record-generator-for-java/ ... that you can copy a sequential RECFM=VB ADATA file from either HLASM or Enterprise Cobol and process it on Windows/Linux/zOS. Note however that in order for this to work, you must copy it in binary and include the 4-byte RDWs in the zFS/Windows/Unix file A simple way to do this is with Co:Z Dataset Pipes: // EXEC PGM=COZBATCH //ADATA DD DISP=SHR,DSN=.... //STDIN DD * fromdsn -b -l rdw //DD:ADATA > /path/to/output.data // (You could also transfer it using Co:Z SFTP including RDWs. IBM FTP can also do this ) On Mon, Apr 1, 2019 at 1:43 PM Joseph Reichman <reichman...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > I’m trying to repro a VB sysadata file to linear file and am getting > incompatible input > Has anyone done this I would like to use the sysadata in a dataspace > > Thanks > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
