Description:

To solve an issue, CA Support technicians will often request additional documentation such as dumps or a copy of a catalog. This document provides an example on how to FTP a disk dataset to CA support FTP server.

Solution:

To FTP a DYNAM catalog (or a fixed record file with record length of 1024 from customer to CA, use the following jcl:

// DLBL FIL2,'DYNAM.71.CATALOG'
// EXTENT ,vvvvvv,,,sss,nn
// EXEC FTPBATCH,PARM='IP=141.202.253.54'
[email protected]
password
localuser
localpassword
LSITE UNIX OFF
LSITE CRLF OFF
bin
CD /0cccccc/nnnnnnnn-nn/files_from_customer
put %FIL2,SAM,F,1024 DYNAM.catalog
QUIT
/*

Change 1024 to the length of your dataset.

To FTP a fix blocked file from customer to ca (In this case record length 100 5 records by block):

// DLBL FIL2,'FILE.TO.SEND'
