How to control LRECL for FTP Transfers to MVS

memays · Feb 07, 2011#12011-02-07T13:49+00:00

I am attempting to upload a file from UltraEdit to MVS which has a record length of 431 bytes. The resulting file is 256 bytes long. How can I specify LRECL RECFM, etc. parameters for an UltraEdit FTP transfer?

If you always send a file with a length of 431 bytes, you can customise the account you have defined in Ultraedit for the MVS to send the SITE command, prior to the file transfer. Go to your FTP account manager, and edit the account you have defined for your MVS server. On the Server tab, there is an entry box "Send after Login" In this type the SITE command to specify the LRECL, RECFM BLKSIZE and any other parameters you need to override the defaults your system has defined.
