XMIT/RECEIVE problem

Hi,
I want to transmit load library to another system. I was using XMIT/RECEIVE for doing this, but now I have problem with this procedure (my load library is very big - may be that is the problem).

Original load library has this parameters: RECFM=U,RECLEN=0,BLOCK=32768,PRIM=9217,SEC=16

XMIT INDATASET(TEST.LOAD) OUTDATASET(TEST.XMI)


XMI is successfully generated, but when I call receive:

RECEIVE INDATASET(TEST.XMI)

 DA(TEST2.LOAD)


The result (TEST2.LOAD) has different parameters than original library: RECFM=U,RECLEN=0,BLOCK=32756,PRIM=9120,SEC=23704(!!!)

I can't receive this XMI on another system (Allocation failed for IEBCOPY INPUT file - INMR071I) - I think that secondary blocks count is problem.

I am using z/OS V1R7.0.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Suggest you create a new library with the same "parameters". . .

Thank for your reply.

I have specified large enough volume when receiving PDS and the result is, that PDS was successfully created on this volume - so this is ok. I can use parameter SPACE for RECEIVE to create same PDS as original.

DA(TEST2.LOAD) VOLUME(BIGVOL) SPACE(9217 16)


But still IEBCOPY fails - member is not received. I think, that problem is in temporary dataset allocation in IEBCOPY. Apparently TRANSMIT/RECEIVE has problem with this big PDS. I will try to find some solution.

Hello,

The result (TEST2.LOAD) has different parameters than original library
Suggest you pre-allocate the new library to be the SAME as the original and then load into it. . .

This may not be the problem, but it is a place to start.

It should also be mo problem to change the temporary dataset allocation in the iebcopy setup.

There should also be diagnostic information generated when the copy fails. What exactly does this show?

I have found workaround - this works:

DSN(TEST2.LOAD) VOLUME(BIGVOL) SPACE(9217 16)


But I don't know why. DA and DSN should be the same.

Good to hear it iw working - thanks for letting us know :)

But I don't know why. DA and DSN should be the same.
Maybe someone more familiar will post an explanation. . .
