Sending an archive file to others

The following are the steps for sending an archive file that contains multiple files on tape or diskette. In the example, the pax command creates an archive file for a directory or file system. The TSO/E OGET command, with the BINARY option, then copies the archive file into a partitioned data set or a sequential data set. Step 2 is not necessary with OS/390® Release 8 and later.
