I have a text file, CCSID 37 in the IFS.

When I "download and open" it using the ACS IFS tooling, I see garbage.
Apparently the text is still in EBCDIC.

iNav does the same, however in iNav you can configure it to automatically
convert files with a given extension.\

Set up file text conversion Set up file text conversion

To set file text conversion, follow these steps:

1. In the *System i Navigator* window, expand the system you want to
use.
2. Expand *File Systems*.
3. Right-click *Integrated File System* and select *Properties*.
4. Enter the file extension that you want to convert automatically in
the *File extensions for automatic text file conversion* text box and
click *Add*.
5. Repeat step 4 for all file extensions that you want to convert
automatically.
6. Click *OK*.

I would have thought ACS would handle it by default, failing that it could
be configured. But I can't seem to find a comparable setting in ACS?

Am I missing something? Is this a bug? Or is it RFE time?
