Tape dataset error with cozsftp V6.0.0

Post by mmulconry »

I have a sequential dataset on tape, recfm=vb. Sending the file to another zOS host using V5.1.1 works, but I get an error with V6.0.0:

Using Co:Z SFTP version: 5.1.1 (6.4p1) 2018-06-01:

cozsftp> lzopts mode=text,mount
mode=text mount
cozsftp> put //PVTEST.MDX.PRF.OUT /tmp/mlm.txt
Uploading //PVTEST.MDX.PRF.OUT to /tmp/mlm.txt
ZosSettingsÝI¨: Transfer options: clientcp=IBM-1047,mode=text,mount,servercp=IBM-1047,trim
ZosDatasetÝI¨: Opening dataset PVTEST.MDX.PRF.OUT for read with options: mount shr
ZosDatasetÝI¨: Closing dataset //PVTEST.MDX.PRF.OUT - 2 records read, 58 bytes sent


Using Co:Z SFTP version: 6.0.0 (7.6p1) 2020-02-14:

cozsftp> lzopts mode=text,mount
mode=text mount
cozsftp> put //PVTEST.MDX.PRF.OUT /tmp/test1_20200424154945.txt
ZosDataset[E]: may not open data with unsupported DSORG: "PVTEST.MDX.PRF.OUT"
Uploading //PVTEST.MDX.PRF.OUT to /tmp/test1_20200424154945.txt
[15:49:46.557045] Couldn't open local file "//PVTEST.MDX.PRF.OUT" for reading: EDC5134I Function not implemented. (errno2=0x00000000)

Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

Thanks for reporting this. Some enhancements in V6.0.0 did break this. We will be fixing it soon.

Note: a workaround (and better way) to use tape data sets on the client side is to use a DD.

put //DD:MYDD /tmp/mlm.txt


then in the DD statement in the JCL you can also specify DCB information, since this isn't available for cataloged tape datasets.

Thanks, and I appreciate the recommendation to use //DD:MYDD.

We corrected this problem in release V6.1.0.
The new release also adds additional support for allocating existing tape data sets.
