Issue/Introduction

XCOM transfers are failing with XCOMU0439E Record exceeds maxreclen following compression Can you please let us know how to achieve a successful transfer with such huge file sizes. 

Environment

Release:
Component: XCLX86

Cause

Since .gz files are already compressed, compression will most likely make the files bigger exceeding the maxreclen.

Resolution

Recommended parameters:
lrecl=31744    
carriage_flag=xpack
code=binary
maxreclen=31744    <======= This is the resolution; other parameter settings are recommendations.
compress=no
This resolved the problem with the very large files.

Additional Information

Since .gz files are already compressed, compression will most likely make the files bigger.
