I'm not sure, but I think an LRECL of anything other than 80 can cause
this type of problem.

John,
I just downloaded it without any problems. The steps I took:
From XP: right-clicked on the "V-710K" for the RXDASD package, choosing
"Save target as" to a directory on my PC.
On the PC: opened a DOS-box and issued: SEND RXDASD.VMARC b:RXDASD
VMARC
E
From VM (on Pcomm session "b:"), issued: FileList * * E
and saw:
Filename Filetype Fm Format Lrecl Records Blocks Date Time
RXDASD VMARC E1 F 80 9080 178 3/13/06
10:13:26
On the '===' command line for that file, issued: VMARC UNPACK / = = e
(OLDDATE
All the files unpacked perfectly. Now... at some point in the past I
may
have set a PComm file transfer default for ".vmarc" files, but don't
find
any evidence of having done so at this time.

Can't VMARC LIST or UNPACK the RXDASD VMARC package
Anyone else have trouble with unpacking the VM download package named
RXDASD?
I can VMARC UNPACK other files without problems.
I've tried multiple binary downloads of RXDASD from VM's
http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/ page
and when I do VMARC LIST RXDASD VMARC A
always gives this error trying to read the file:
RXDASD EXEC A1. Bytes in= 16384, bytes out= 0 ( 0%).
Invalid header for compacted file.
