Re: Ascii file conversion

Thanks for the info.  The software is doing the conversion and it's probably a 
well known package, patrick townsend.  Their support folks are excellent.

I believe the file is being sent in binary mode now, as the data is 
still ASCII. In ascii (text) mode the data would have been converted 
properly already. So you are probably left with Scott's solution of 
copying to a file with the desired CCSID for your national language.

Ok, but the software doesn't allow for me to set to bin.

There is a stetting for binary.  Wat ever you have it at, try it the
other way.  See if that helps.

Also, I'm using a familiar ftp software app which goes right from 

the other
system (bank) to a PF in a library and because the software's at a 
backlevel I
can't use the IFS now.

Thanks for the info

A couple of wag's:
- Check out the CCSID of the new file.  You might have to have that set
right BEFORE the data is transferred into it.
- Receive the file in the IFS first and then use CPYFRMSTMF to get it into
a db file
