Does anyone know of somebody that has successfully moved a PDF file from MVS to the USS using the OCOPY command in JCL ? We have tried a number of options on the OCOPY with unsuccessful results. The resulting file calls Adobe Acrobat and Acrobat displays a dialog reading "corrupt or damaged file" or "file does not begin with %PDF-".

I can use FTP to drop this file in the USS and it is fine but our security policy makes it tough to get FTP access for all developers. If anyone has a clue what OCOPY options to use could you please share them with me.

Thanks,
Lou

OCOPY looks like a utility to copy database files and backups - it might be mangling the PDF file.

I'm not sure what USS is, but have you tried to TSO ALLOC to the USS area to directly create the PDF file there instead of having to copy it?

USS is IBM's implementation of Unix on (MVS) mainframes.

Can you add a FILEDEF for the PDF report in the FEX?

I now have OCOPY working with FOCUS release 7.1.1. Releases above this do not yet work.
