FTP? NDM? XCOM? ISPF Client/Server Transfer? IND$FILE?

Hello Christina and welcome to the forum,

Please clarify what you want to be transferred to the PC. Maybe post a 20-byte sample of the mainframe data and what you want to arrive on the PC.

As has been mentoned, there are several ways to transfer data from the mainframe, but i am not clear by what you mean by "hex-data".

Once transferred, how will this data be used on the pc?

Hi,

I wanted the data (with hex on) transferred.
And found a way : IDCAMS

//ALLOC EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//DD1 DD DSN=MYDSN,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
PRINT -
INFILE(DD1) -
HEX
/*

Thx
