Sounds like you're telling it to convert to EBCDIC. Consider changing that number from 0 to 1252 (or similar.)

Though, personally, I prefer to disable the "allow text conversion" and do any required translation manually beforehand via tools like CPY. If I enable translation on the netserver share, then all files from that share are translated -- and there are many files that are NOT text and that I don't want translated. There are others that I do want translated, but don't want them translated the same way as everything else. Like somefiles I want translated to ASCII others to Unicode. For me, it's better to let the programs (via the IFS APIs) do the translation, and always send the data back to the PC as-is.

What should I have? I don't see IBM EBCDIC here.
I have Allow file text conversion checked.
Simple Conversion.
0 - Use i5/OS NetServer CCSID
File extensions for automatic EBCDIC/ASCII text conversion
*.log

But the files, logs and otherwise, are gibberish.
