Larry, there are many (some complicated) ways of dealing with this problem.

Chapter 13 of my eBook at http://iSeries400.org deals with precisely
this problem: translation and compression. I'm sending you the Chapter
by separate email.

I guess I am not making my self understood.  We FTP a zipped file therefore
not translation can talk place.  The sole purpose is to reduce the amount of
time transfering the data because the files being FTPd are very big.  Last
nights file was 976MB  unzipped.  We did the CPYTOSTMF but that takes a lot
of time.  

I want to be able to translate the PF back and forth from  ASCII to EBCDIC
etc.  This would eliminate the timely CPYTOSTMF.  The zipping would eliminate
the costly transfer by FTP.
