Trying to set RECFM and LRECL when sending files to a mainframe

[d***@gm.com]

Does anyone know the correct syntax for setting the LRECL and RECFM for a
file being sent to the mainframe from Linux via lftp?
I've tried a number of different combinations and cannot get it to work.
It doesn't complain about it but it just gets the default of LRECL=80 on
the mainframe.
I don't do a lot of work on the mainframe so I'm hoping someone can help
me.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know what LRECL and RECFM are, but I think setting them can be
possible by using "site" command. Try "site help" for a start.

I tried using the site command but get this error:

site: Operation not supported

I am using the sftp feature of lftp.

I don't think it is possible to do with sftp. The site command could be useful
in case of plain ftp.
