Step 3. Transfer the archive file to a tape or diskette

To a tape or diskette at the workstation: While working in MVS™:

a.: For information about how to copy an archive file from the file system into a data set, see Step 2. Copy the file from the file system to a data set.
b.: Enter the FTP command.
c.: Enter the binary subcommand.
d.: Enter the put subcommand, specifying a pathname at your workstation as a destination.

To a tape at the host: While working in MVS:

a.

For information about how to copy an archive file from the file system into a data set, see Step 2. Copy the file from the file system to a data set.

b.

Copy the archive file from the data set to tape. Here is some sample JCL for copying a data set containing an archive file (TURBO.TAR) to a tape (TURBO.TARTAPE):

//DS2TAPE  JOB ,',MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//*
//STEP1    EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1   DD  DSNAME=TURBO.TAR,DISP=OLD
//SYSUT2   DD  DSNAME=TURBO.TARTAPE,UNIT=TAPE,LABEL=(1,NL),
//             DISP=(NEW,KEEP)

Guideline: For LABEL=, NL indicates that there is no label. Use NL when transferring a tape between an MVS and a UNIX system; use SL when transferring a tape between two MVS systems.
