DSCOPY of NM KSAM XL Files to Pre-5.0 MPE/iX Systems
by Steve Bitondo and Wendy Liau

A problem may arise if you attempt to DSCOPY a native mode KSAM file that
was built on an MPE/iX Release 5.0 or later system to a pre-5.0 system,
if the KSAM XL file has a blocksize other than 4K bytes. DSCOPY on the
receiving pre-5.0 system will detect that the blocksize of the newly
created target KSAM XL file does not match the blocksize of the source
KSAM XL file, and will end with the following error messages:
SOURCE AND TARGET FILE ATTRIBUTES MUST MATCH.(NFT/3000 ERR 51)
CONFLICTING ATTRIBUTES OR OPTIONS. (NS/NFTERR 19)
This problem is documented as KPR#4701-203588.
This problem is fixed if you apply DATACOMM patch NSSCDU5 to your MPE/iX
Release 4.0 system. (No patch is currently available for other pre-5.0
releases). After applying the patch, if you DSCOPY a MPE/iX Release 5.0
or later KSAM XL file with blocksize other than 4K bytes to a pre-5.0
system, you will get a warning message:
TARGET BLOCK SIZE BEING CHANGED DUE TO FILE SYSTEM
DIFFERENCES
The transfer then completes successfully.
