Sorry for the late summary
  Thanks to all for the responses
 Almost all suggested FTP the file,the large file size
prevented us from this option.(the file size is around
42 lac blocks, and record size is 29056 bytes)
  another option was using ltf on unix, this didnt
work for us since ltf supports max block size of 20480
bytes .
And finally the solution that worked was using
exchange on VAX
 Exchange> copy /log filename.ext tape:/trans=block
 and on unix
   dd if=/dev/tape/tape0 of=filename.ext bs=2048

 Thanks one and all for this help
Abdul
