We have SSH-based file transfer scripts currently set up for Linux-to-Linux and we're porting them to z/OS to go z/OS-to-Linux. Note that this is with USS, the UNIX system services within z/OS otherwise known as OMVS, which uses EBCDIC under the covers, not zLinux which uses ASCII. We've set up all the SSH key files and what-not, and the transfer itself is working fine. However z/OS, in it's infinite wisdom, insists on converting the files from EBCDIC to ASCII despite the fact that they're binary files - this is screwing up the content of the destination files. The scp manpage on z/OS states:

I am getting compilation error as, A "COPY" statement with "REPLACING" phrase was found within a nested "COPY". This is our compilation setting that we can not use REPLACING verb in nested copy. We have one copybook which is having multiple copy statements with replacing verb. Can anyone help me to resolve this error? Nesting COPYBOOKS in COBOL is a bit of a trick. In general you may nest copybooks only if they do not contain the REPLACING phrase and do not cause recursion. Suppose you had the following two copybooks: COPYBOOK ABC 01 :A:-VAR-A1 PIC X. 01 :A:-VAR-A2 PIC X. COPY XYZ REPLACING ==

I have a legacy script which I am not able to understand. The script is to transfer 4 files (2 ebcdic format files and 2 pdf files) in unix to mainframes through ftp. ebcdic format file 1 is abc.xyz ebcdic format file 2 is pqr.xyz pdf file 1 is abc.pdf pdf file 2 is pqr.pdf mainframe file name is AM2P.BJCUN.SALCHG The syntax of the command in the script is as below: quote site recfm=fb put /myfiles/abc.xyz AM2P.BJCUN.SALCHG append /myfiles/abc.pdf AM2P.BJCUN.SALCHG append /myfiles/pqr.xyz AM2P.BJCUN.SALCHG append /myfiles/pqr.pdf AM2P.BJCUN.SALCHG I want to achieve the same thing through SCP.

'I've interned at a company that does a lot of mainframe work. Most of my mainframe experience has been using Java and Unix System Services. I've had some experience with the ISPF interface and C but none with assembler. I’m graduating shortly and will be taking an independent study my last semester. I’d like to stick with the mainframe and was wondering what resources could teach me mainframe assembler? Note I don’t have experience writing assembler for any platform but do understand binary, hex, and have a theoretical understanding of registers. None of the following are tutorial-like, just

When I am sending a Variable length file from Mainframe Connect direct to UNIX box, the file on UNIX have some extra bytes on the beginning of the Mainframe file, I tried using different SYSOPTS option but I am still getting those intial bytes. Any Idea ? You should look at getting the file copied to a Fixed-Length record (recfm=FB) file on the mainframe before doing the transfer. There are a number of mainframe utilities that can do this (i.e. sort). If you transfer it as a VB file you should also leave it as an EBCDIC file (the BDW/RDW fields are binary fields and should not be translated to
