If you attempt to use dirtree to transfer all of the files of a directory to a sequential file instead of a pds, the transfer will be successful but there will be no member names because the MVS file is not a PDS.The second one will replace the first one and so on for multiple files. If you have multiple files in a directory with the same name and the first 8 characters are identical, MVS will truncate the filename after 8 characters so all the files will have the same name. It is necessary to make sure that Windows, Unix and Linux filenames are unique in the first 8 characters to use this feature.The transfers will fail with XCOMM0226E - Member Name Missing or Invalid. These characters can not be used as part of the PDS name. z/OS only supports some of the National Characters.z/OS will not accept names that start with a number.Instead always use * to indicate file names. SUSPEND and RESUME cannot be used with wildcard transfers with DirTree support.There will be a 1 line separation between the members. Note: This list is by no means a complete and exhaustive list of file. List of File Extensions Showing File Extensions Searching File Extensions.

The *, or wildcard, can be used to transfer files with a certain suffix i.e.C:\Testdirtree\a* will send only the files that begin with 'a'. The *, or wildcard, can be used to send some of the contents of a Windows directory.Sample parameters to send from XCOM for Windows to z/OS Replace will create any new files and overwrite any existing files of the same name. This example assumes that the Windows system already has an existing directory, 'Testdirtree' on the C drive.
