Now, double-click on the member you're interested in and you should see it in the left-hand pane. 14:50:03 Recv> 250 List completed successfully. 14:50:03 Recv> 200 Representation type is Ascii NonPrint 14:50:03 Recv> 257 "''" partitioned data set is working directory. 14:50:03 Recv> 250 The working directory "" is a partitioned data set 14:50:03 Recv> 211 no Extensions supported 14:50:03 Recv> 215 MVS is the operating system of this server. 14:50:03 Recv> 200 Representation type is Image At the bottom of the screen, you should see a load of stuff indicating how the connection fared. Note that if you don't see the list, try selecting View, Log, and check that the first option says Hide Log (ie, indicating that Show log is on). Was now presented with a list of the members in the PDS. Now I deliberately didn't specify anything for the right folder, but simply clicked OK. I removed the anonymous login option and specified my mainframe userid/password. When presented with the window entitled "Browse for left base folder", I selected the ftp site tab and entered our mainframe's ftp address, the inital remote directory (my PDS in quotes, ie '', WITHOUT trying to specify the actual member name - it doesn't seem to like that). I also selected the open folder icon for the left folder.
Starting BC, I selected Folders and New folder comparison. This SEEMS to work, and this is how I solved my problem (detailed description in case anyone else needs the same solution). I am SO impressed !!!! Sorry to take so long to get back to you Chris (and thanks for your suggestion). I tried experimenting by copying the PLAS1400 PDS member to a simple sequential file, but that doesn't SEEM to help either. Remember, at the end of the day, the file I'm trying to acces is NOT a linux type file, it's mainframe file.īTW.
If that's the case, fair enough, I won't waste any more time, but it sure as hell would be neat if I could get this to work. It might turn out that what I'm trying to do is a "can't be done" at the moment with BC2. This allows me to access the m/f from my PC and I CAN browse the plas1400 file above using this. I should mention that I have a s/w product called Ipswitch WS_FTP Pro 2006. The filename bol(plas1400) means (in TSO) '(plas1400)'. I have set the FTP options to ascii and uppercase filenames. I specify the following as the m/f file specificationįtp://myuserid: _ftp_address/bol(plas1400) I specify a local file as the firstfile for comparison, but the file on the mainframe (which is a TSO PDS if that says anything to you) is never accessed.
Have experimented a bit and have reached the following stage
