Actually, that looks almost right. But if your maximum record length is 1500 characters (exclusive of the NL at the end of the line), your LRECL should be at least 1504. But don't skimp on the maximum - there's no cost or penalty to larger values (up to 32767). And NealB's correct - if this is a text file, you may need to specify a character-set translation - but I don't know how to do that in CONNECT:Direct.

Network Data Mover (NDM) was a UNIX data application that transferred information between UNIX server computers. It was purchased by Sterling Software and renamed 'Connect:Direct,' although it offers identical functionality. All connections from NDM exist in a client to server fashion and occur directly from computer to computer. It is used as an alternative to file transfer protocol (FTP) because it has greater speed, CPU support and command-line features.

Log into your UNIX computer using your user name and password.

Type 'ndmcli' to open the NDM command-line application.
