Co:Z SFTP and SAS "filename sftp" command

[maw]

I'm trying to switch my SAS 9.3 Unix server to use the "filename sftp" function in SAS. I need to read z/OS SMF data for processing on the SAS 9.3 Unix box. Does anyone have the proper parameters or a sample batch file that would accomplish this ?

We have the SAS SFTP function working, but I think the real issue here is the z/OS SMF datasets are VBS (variable blocked spanned). Can sftp'ing from a Co:Z server to a Unix box (using the standard Unix sftp client, not Co:Z sftp client) read and store such a file successfully ?

How would you like the (binary) VBS dataset stored?

If you use the linerule=RDW option, you will get IBM RDW prefixes before each record.
