A common problem when you create or import a transport file under the z/OS environment is a failure to specify the correct Data Control Block (DCB) characteristics. When you reference a transport file, you must specify the following DCB characteristics:

Another common problem can occur if you use communications software to move files from another environment to z/OS. In some cases, the transport file does not have the proper DCB characteristics when it arrives on z/OS. If the communications software does not allow you to specify file characteristics, try the following approach for z/OS:

1. Create a file under z/OS with the correct DCB characteristics and initialize the file.

2. Move the transport file from the other environment to the newly created file under z/OS using binary transfer.
