I suspect that your files have been marked with the wrong CCSIDs. Please compare the actual bytes in the file with the CCSIDs that the system thinks the file is. Do they match? i.e. is the data in the file ASCII, when the CCSID is 819 or 1252? (Note that with the exception of a series of control characters, 819 and 1252 are identical) Is the data in the file EBCDIC when the CCSID is 37? If not, they are being marked with wrong CCSID values.

I had some txt files with a ccsid of 819. Some with 37. Some with 1252.
I used ftp in ascii to transfer them down. Only the 1252 were human
readable.
I did a CPY to another directory and gave them a ccsid of 1252. Now they
are all human readable.

Since these are created by vendor software (IBM Lotus Domino) any chance I
can just get ftp to work as I want it to and just make them all human
readable without having to CPY them first?
