Packing and Transferring Control-D/Image Files

The packing program creates the control file with all the objects and their indexing data packed together. The current version supports the packing of multiple objects if all the objects are of the same type.

Manually transfer the packed file (created by the packing program) to the mainframe in binary mode into a file with RECFM=FBA,LRECL=80.

Use a utility such as IEBGENER with the following JCL to convert the transferred file into a CDAM file, with BLOB=typ in the CDAM parameters:

//SYSUT2  DD  SUBSYS=(R504,’PREFIX=N50.NDS,BLOB=GIF’),

//            DCB=(BLKSIZE=8000,LRECL=80,RECFM=FBA)
