Issue/Introduction

When FTPing a HOLDDATA.DTA.TXT file from PC to host, the file is not being formatted properly on the host. Here is my FTP using the Command Prompt :

ftp> quote site lrecl=80 recfm=fb blksize=32720 cyl pri=50 sec=10 
200 SITE command was accepted 
ftp> put ro86945.holddata.dta.txt 
200 Port request OK.

451-File transfer failed. File contains records that are longer than the LRECL of the new file. 
451 Transfer aborted due to file error. File is deleted.

Resolution

The HOLDDATA file is a text file, so when FTPing the HOLDDATA file from CA Support Online to the pc, the ftp should done in ASCII. The ASCII command has to be issued before the get command. (If this is not done, the default format is binary.) Once transferred in ASCII, the file should be formatted correctly on the pc and, when FTP'd it to the mainframe, the dataset should also be formatted correctly. Below is an example FTPing from CA Support Online to pc:
