Hi,

Could anyone let me know how do we transfer a PDS from a mainframe to a PC.

Am able to tranfer a PS file (using the receive command) but not a PDS. Is there any utility to transfer the dataset, if so could anyone give me the details

Regards

1.You should connect to your mainframe through an FTP connection like
ftp ipvalue
2.After you connect to your mainframe and entered your userid and password, you should change your active directory in your mainframe using cd command , usually first you are in your local directory ,use cd .. to leave a directory to upper and cd to go to your special directory like
---> cd ..
--->dir
--->cd sy1.parmlib

3.Then you should set your local directory in your PCs using following command :
--->lcd c:\
4.after that you should use the get to get one member or mget to get all members of PDS dataset like :

-----> mget *
NOTE : use prompt off to make prompt off for datasets which that has too many members.

5.then it 's FINISHED .That 's all.
