RE: PRTCMNTRC *OUTFILE support.

When ever I do comm traces I save directly to “.pcap” which can be directly opened with wireshark.

TRCCNN SET(*OFF) TRCTBL(MYTRACECNN) OUTPUT(*STMF) TOSTMF('/trccnn.pcap' *YES)

Subject: PRTCMNTRC *OUTFILE support.

Trying to get PRTCMNTRC *OUTFILE data to a network technician. However I cannot get it into a format which doesn't turn into hieroglyphics upon download.

DSPSYSVAL QCCSID

DSPJOB OPTION(*DFNA)

Tried it again with:
CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(ROB/PRTCMNTRC) TOSTMF('/home/ROB/prtcmntrc.csv') FROMCCSID(*FILE) RCDDLM(*CRLF) ADDCOLNAM(*SYS)
This time the DSPF looks good, but the download looks even worse.

For download I am using FileZilla.
