Additional Information

The Tomcat server.xml file is in ASCII

You can edit a file in ASCII mode using one of the following methods:

Use a third-party utility that allows direct editing of ASCII files from USS.

Edit the ASCII file locally with a text editor:

1. Download the file to your computer using FTP in binary mode, so that the encoding is not changed during the transfer.
2. Edit the file on your computer with a text editor.
3. Upload the file back in binary using FTP.

Edit the ASCII file with the ISPF UI Tool within USS:      

1. Select UTILITIES from the ISPF primary option menu. The Utility Selection Panel opens.
2. Select Udlist. The z/OS UNIX Directory List Utility opens.
3. Type the pathname, then use normal USS commands to step down the path to the required directory.
4. Make yourself a superuser and enter the EA command on the appropriate file. The file is in a readable form, and you can update it.
