The "pipe" solution:

/* */
arg fn ft
address 'COMMAND' "STATE" fn ft "*"
if rc=28 then return ''
"PIPE CMS LISTFILE" fn ft" *|spec 19-19 1|join / /|var letters"
return letters

The "no PIPE available" solution:

/* */
arg fn ft
address 'COMMAND' "STATE" fn ft "*"
if rc=28 then return ''
"MAKEBUF"
before = queued()
"LISTFILE" fn ft "* (FIFO NOH"
after  = queued()
letters = ''
do i=1 to (after-before)
   pull . 19 m 20 .
   letters = letters m
   end
return strip(letters)

With PIPE, use CMS LISTFILE, not the STATE stage, which only 'sees'
the first instance of fn ft *.
No doubt you will use the PIPE solution. :-)

The CMS COPY command includes an option to pack a file, as well as one
to replace it keeping the same name and date.  The format is

COPY FILNAM FILTYP FM = = = ( replace olddate pack

Interestingly enough, if you XEDIT the packed file, XEDIT will dynamically
unpack it for you, so that you can view it in its original format.

BTW - depending on the content of the file, sometimes just making it
variable record format instead of fixed can save a substantial amount of
disk space.

No there is not.....I'm not an expert, but I have to talked to many
people about this.   XYZ/modem is not compatible with IBM mainframe
communications....it has something to with being half-duplex or the
parity or something of that nature.    My suggestion to you is to
get the latest version of kermit for both the sending and receiving
computers from Columbia University's ftp site.

Also, if you have CMS Pipelines, the follwing EXEC does the job very nicely:

    /* Tape copy */
    address command
    signal on error
    'TAPE REW '
    'TAPE REW (TAP2'
    do until recs.1=0
       'PIPE tape | tape TAP2 wtm |count lines | stem recs.'
    end
    error: exit RC

It is assumed that the input tape conforms to the convention that two tapemarks
with no intervening data signal *eov*.

DITTO and Pipes already mentioned - there's also a TSCAN using Pipes available
from the CMSPIP-L FILELIST (to be found also in Tools file 7). Right now among
other functions it checks for NL/SL and tries to interpret the contents of the
TAPE (PLC2, CMS TAPE, and three IEBxxx formats).

Okay, I apologize for this not being strictly a _VM_ question, but we're
sorta desperate...

We need to copy several 6250BPI tapes over to 38K cartridges, so that we can
download them through our VM system (which only has cart drives).  The tapes
have 48000-byte blocks, which seem to be unreadable by everything I know
about under MVS.  Does anyone have a clue as to where I can find a utility
that will do this oneshot copy?  I know I can deal with the tapes properly
once I get them on a media accessible to our VM system.

Thanx in advance.

...since it's a one-liner, this is CMS EXEC, not EXEC 2 or REXX, and so
it acts as "address 'COMMAND'".

Yeah, but PIPE is a bit tricky: if you PIPE ERASE 83D99022 NNReader A
it will check if such a file with mixed cased identifier exists; if it does
not find one, then it will try with 83D99022 NNREADER A (all in upcase).
So beware!

Since you only want the **first** occurrence, use either:
   'PIPE COMMAND LISTFILE' filen filet '* | VAR RESULT'
    return LEFT(WORD(RESULT,3),1)
since the 'VAR' stage shorts-out all records after the first, or,
    WORD = '' /* Set a "null" result, for compatibility with 'PIPE' solution */
   'MAKEBUF'; 'LISTFILE' filen filet '* ( STACK'
    if rc=0  then pull . . WORD

Another way to include longer node names is to use the LIST OF NAMES field.
To add a user with a long node name, I fill out the nickname field and enter

TAPEMAP from the University of Kentucky (UKCC) does this, and more.  It
has been on a number of Workshop tapes, and therefore, is availabe via

That's LNAME by Alain Fontaine. You can find it on (I believe)
any NETSERV (not LISTSERV). Since NETSERV does not support packages,
you will have to GET PROGRAMS FILELIST, browse it till you find
the description for LNAME, and order the files separately.

(Or is there a LsitServ that has a copy of it?)

The answer depends on where the INSTSEG is being searched.  On VM/XA and ESA
the command SET INSTSEG controls where this segment is searched in the "access"
order.  Issue the command Q INSTSEG to see what filemode the segment is
searched as, and issue a SET INSTSEG command to ensure it is searched BEFORE
the disk containing the source EXEC.  If your version of VM does not have
these commands, then I'm not sure when the segment is searched (can't
remember when the SET and Q INSTSEG commands were introduced).

Also remember that in ANY cms you can use ddr to see filemode 0 files.
Create a temp mdisk with  the same size as the one that contains the files,
then issue ddr with copy function, when you access your temp disk you will see
all files including  fm 0 files.

Be aware that this file contains your personal subscriptions and all the

Subject: X/Y/Zmodem protocols for a VM/CMS ?

Kermit is very slow and my implementation doesn't work on binary files.
Is there a X/Y/Zmodem implementation available on FTP or a LISTSERV ?
