Edit Copy anomaly ?

[lbd...@gmail.com]

I was using ISPF Edit on a PDS member where I'm storing some of my shell
scripts to easily share and what I do is open the member (empty) and do a
Copy from my home directory where the shell script resides.

It arrives in an unreadable format - what I can only surmise is ASCII text.

How can I get it to copy the text into the member in ebcdic?

Ia the member in your home directory tagged with a CCSID?
Which? 819? 1208? Other?

If you Edit it from 3.17, is it legible?
Can yo7 specify ASCII?

Can you then Save it to a PDS member as EBCDIC?

Otherwise, you might need such as:
iconv -f IBM-819 -t IBM-1047 $HOME/script |
/bin/cp /dev/fd/0 "//'PFS(MEMBER)'"

Tagged as ISO-8859-1.

Using 3.17/udlist I can edit with no problem.
- using Create while in Edit this way still create an ascii member
- specifying ascii or utf-8 on the create results in an unusable member

Oget does not work either.

1. Edit the file in the home directory using the 3.17 shell file browse functions.  Use the “/” character to start the edit and select #2 to edit or #5 to view in the pop-up menu.
2. Enter “C9999” in the sequence field on the left of the first line and “CUT” on the command line
3. Quit the edit/view of the shell script with PF3
4. Open your empty PDS member
5. Type “PASTE” on the command line

Are you willing to do:
chmod a+x $HOME
chmod a+rx $HOME/script
?
If so, then it should be "easily shared"
without copy to PDS.

Perfection – thank you

 

Convoluted but it worked

Does Copy not honor the CCSID tag of the file Copied from?

Surely this merits an RFE ("Idea").

I hate EBCDIC!

Found another way to do it

 

From my home directory via the shell entered: cp script /dsfs/txt/hlq.pds/script

 

And then checked and it copied just fine – kudos to the dsfs team.

A pleasant surprise.

Is this behavior clearly documented in the DSFS User's Guide?
