Record format not allowed
Explanation
This error occurs when downloading a load module or
program object. The transfer types of the source and target data sets
are different.
User response
- Diagnosing the problem
- Left-click the destination data set. Look at the Property view
(the two-column table with headings Property and Value).
Expand the Mapping property. You must see Transfer
Binary in both the source data set and the destination
data set.
- This feature requires the client and server to be at least at
version 8.0.1.
- Solving the problem
- If the destination data set is Transfer Text,
change it to Transfer Binary by doing one of
the following:
- For a single file:
- Right-click the destination data file and click Properties.
- Click Mapping.
- Click the Other radio button beneath Transfer
mode, click binary, and then click OK.
- For all files with a particular low-level qualifier:
- Click Window > Show View > z/OS file System Mapping.
The view opens near the bottom of the workspace window.
- Right-click in the view and click Add data set mapping.
- Type a pattern in the Mapping Criterion field,
for example, **LOADMOD. This mapping will apply to all future data
sets with that low level qualifier.
- Click the Other radio button beneath the Transfer
mode, click binary, and then click OK.
