FTP the datasets by keeping the original date and timestamp

Hi all,

I need to FTP datasets from one LPAR(LPAR-1) to another LPAR(LPAR-2) in mainframes. I have run the jcl for the same and it is working fine. But the original date and time stamp of the datasets are not coming in LPAR-2.

Is it possible to get the original date and timestamp for the FTP'ed datasets?

Thanks,
Sathish

What do you mean, are these in the dataset name, is the FTP process changing the internal data or what ?

Please explain what is acrtually happening

Thank you all for your replies.

Expat,

I dont mean the internal data. The details that are displayed inside the PDS.This includes Created date and the changed date,timestap and other PDS attributesthat are displayed aside of the members.

Hi sathish,

Its depend upon you mainframe sytem ,
You can write a program where you accept date and time from sytem

Then iclude that program in your jcl icluding below para

-dd1 DD DSN=Controlcard librarry(SAU500L),
/ DISP=SHR
/ddout DD DSN=MTPLD01.FTP.CARD,
/ DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=(,
/ SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE),
/ DCB=LRECL=80
member conatis(SAU500L)

CD FOLDER
TYPE A
ASCII
PUT 'MTPLD01.DEsired.NOTE.File' DX?DMY?.TXT
QUIT

If you required other then mail me deired ouput

Do you really understand what the OP is trying to do here. I think not. He wants to retain the original ISPF statistics from the sending PDS on a different LPAR.

Please refrain from answering questions that you are clearly not understanding.
