Uploading AFP files to z/OS

Before you can use the reblocking program, you must upload the AFP files from your workstation to the z/OS® system. You can use any file transfer program to do this; however, keep these in mind:

• AFP files must be uploaded as binary files.
• The record format must be variable.
• The most efficient logical record length is 32756.

This command shows how to upload an AFP file called GRTNOVEL.AFP (created with the AFP Printer Driver for Windows) if you are using eNetwork Personal Communications file transfer program:

SEND d:\directoryname\GRTNOVEL.AFP sessionid:'userid.GRTNOVEL.UPLD' LRECL(32756)
