Re: FTP'ing a file from AS400 to UNIX

[Tim McCarthy <twmac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Simon,

You can prevent any character translation from taking place by specifying
the BINARY FTP subcommand before your PUT. If you need an EBCDIC to ASCII
translation, but some characters are being translated wrongly (usually the
line feed value) then create a translation table with the translation
characters modified and use this table on the FTP command itself. If you've
never created or modified a table, the easiest way is to use the CRTTBL
command specifying *PROMPT for the source file - this will give you a
basing table parameter for which you can use QASCII in QSYS (for EBCDIC to
ASCII). Once you press enter you'll get a cross reference table that allows
you to modify the EBCDIC hex to ASCII hex conversion value.
