Re: Re: IND$FILE

Hi Carlos,

I believe your hex display is of a XMIT format dataset. You can use the RECV370 utility to decode it. I have the RECV370 load module already in SYS2.LINKLIB (I'm using turnkey + MVS380 1.0).

Here is some untested sample JCL for executing RECV370 assuming you already have your "HET" file on MVS. 

//RECVPDS  JOB 'RECEIVE JOB',CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=A        
//RECV370  EXEC PGM=RECV370                                           
//RECVLOG   DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//XMITIN    DD DSN=YOUR.INPUT.DATASET,DISP=OLD                    
//SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//SYSUT1    DD DSN=&&SYSUT1,                                          
//             UNIT=SYSDA,                                
//             SPACE=(CYL,(5,1)),                                     
//             DISP=(,DELETE,DELETE)                                  
//SYSUT2    DD DSN=YOUR.OUTPUT.DATASET,                              
//             UNIT=3380,VOL=SER=PUB002,                              
//             SPACE=(CYL,(5,1,45),RLSE),                             
//             DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE)                                   
//SYSIN     DD DUMMY                                                  
//SYSUDUMP  DD SYSOUT=*                                               

Or, you can load the XMIT file directly to a hercules dasd volume/file using the hercules provided command dasdload. You need to init a new volume (dasdinit) and then load it. For the load, you'll need to build a control file. See the Hercules documentation for details on dasdinit/dasdload. 

Good luck, Tony.
