Upload the software to the mainframe

Upload the endevor\install.xmit in binary format to a sequential dataset with a record length of 80 and a block size of 3120.

Firstly, on z/OS, allocate the datasets to use as the upload target files. To do this, create a dataset with the same characteristics as the sample job below (or by submitting the job below). If you choose to submit the job, note the following:

//ALLOC1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//*
//FTPALLOC DD DSN=hlq.INSTALL.XMIT,
// DISP=NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// DSORG=PS,
// RECFM=FB,
// LRECL=80,
// BLKSIZE=3120,
//* VOL=SER=vvvvvv,
// UNIT=SYSALLDA,
// SPACE=(CYL,(5,5))

To upload the files, you can use FTP from a command prompt. In the sample dialog shown below, commands or other information entered by the user are in bold, and the following values are assumed:
