z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command ... - Christian Grothoff

Usage notes
longer than the specified record length, the edit session will not load the file
and will issue the customary message that a line is too long.
1. OEDIT attempts to load the file into a VB255 session. If this is an ISPF that
supports wide edit (such as ISPF 4.1) and any line exceeds 235 characters, the
width for the new session is the length of the longest line plus 25% to allow for
some expansion.
2. The COPY command cannot copy in files that have records wider than the edit
session.
3. The TSO region size must be large enough to hold the size of the file to be
edited.
4. Two ISPF variables are available to edit macros:
v HFSCWD this variable contains the pathname for the directory in which the
file being edited resides.
v HFSNAME this variable contains the name of the file being edited.
OGET — Copy z/OS UNIX files into an MVS data set
Format
Description
Parameters
OGET ’pathname’
mvs_data_set_name | mvs_data_set_name(member_name)
BINARY | TEXT
CONVERT(character_conversion_table | YES | NO)
You can use the OGET command to copy an z/OS UNIX system file:
v To a member of an MVS partitioned data set (PDS or PDSE)
v To an MVS sequential data set
and convert the data from code page 1047 to code page IBM-037 or ASCII while it
is being copied. Do not use the CONVERT option when copying files that contain
doublebyte data. This option is used for singlebyte data only, not for doublebyte
data.
pathname
Specifies the pathname of the file that is being copied to a data set. This
operand is required. The pathname is:
v A relative or absolute pathname. A relative pathname is relative to the
working directory of the TSO/E session (usually the HOME directory).
Therefore, you should usually specify an absolute pathname.
v Up to 1023 characters long.
v Enclosed in single quotes.
OEDIT
v In uppercase or lowercase characters, which are not changed by the system.
mvs_data_set_name | mvs_data_set_name(member_name)
Specifies the name of an MVS sequential data set or an MVS partitioned data
set member to receive the file that is being copied. One of these two operands
is required. The data set name is:
