Methods, system and computer program product, the method comprising: from high level language code (HLLC), receiving a request for reading a data set from a tape onto an object storage connected over TCP/IP to a mainframe; from the HLLC, allocating a data set on a tape comprising information to be imported, the allocation being in a format of the stored data set record and associated with a JFCB, the tape is mounted in SL mode; updating the JFCB to BLP mode; reading from the tape VOL1 data, and for each stored file initiating by the HLLC: reading HDR1/2, content block-by-block; EOF1/2 of the file; organizing the VOL1, HDR1, HDR2, content, EOF1 and EOF2 in the object storage; and closing the tape, wherein said reading is performed without setting a JES of the mainframe to BLP mode, and said reading is performed without unmounting the tape after each file.

System and method for importing and exporting data between tapes to cloud storage

Methods, and computer program product for writing data sets to and from cloud storage for legacy mainframe applications. A call to a mount request issued by the operating system is intercepted. An exit call to prepare for dataset write is received from an OS open routine. At least one call to a Basic Sequential Access Method (BSAM) End of Block (EOB) write routine is intercepted. Subject to the at least one call to the BSAM EOB routine being associated with cloud storage, data chunks are sent in an asynchronous manner to cloud storage. A second exit call for finalizing writing of the data chunks to the cloud storage is received. A call to an unmount request is intercepted. As a result, data is written directly from the mainframe to the cloud storage without intermediate storage.
