1. A device for distributing a sequential dataset or a library of texts or load modules comprising:

  • a sender programmer at the sender'"'"'s site with a file transfer-enabled mainframe terminal for creating required JCL streams, for creating required datasets, for submitting required JCL streams, for creating the download sequential dataset records, for downloading the download sequential dataset to the PC and for creating PC-based data media to send to the receiver'"'"'s site;

    a sequential dataset or a library at the sender'"'"'s site to be delivered to the receiver'"'"'s site;

    a download sequential dataset at the sender'"'"'s site, which is of fixed length record format and its logical record length is 80 bytes or greater, for storing the output of the program PCFORM;

    a program PCFORM at the sender'"'"'s site for converting the sequential dataset or\library to the download sequential dataset of fixed length records;

    a downloaded PC hard disk file at the sender'"'"'s site for storing the downloaded content of the mainframe download sequential dataset;

    a receiver programmer at the receiver'"'"'s site with a mainframe PC terminal for receiving the data from the sender, for creating required JCL streams, for creating required datasets, for uploading the received data from the PC to the mainframe, and for submitting required JCL streams;

    an upload sequential dataset at the receiver'"'"'s site, which is of fixed length record format and its logical record length is equal to the logical record length of the download sequential dataset at the sender'"'"'s site, for storing the data uploaded from a PC at receiver'"'"'s site;

    a destination sequential dataset or library, with the same record format as the record format of the respective dataset at the sender'"'"'s site, for storing the data from the upload sequential dataset; and

    a program PCFORM at the receiver'"'"'s site for converting the upload sequential dataset records to the destination sequential dataset or library.
