RE: EBCDIC-to-ASCII

     Larry, you may want to look into ASi and their version of PKZIP. 
     Their documentation states that all data is stored in the archive 
     in ASCII format for compatibility purposes. I haven't used it in a 
     couple of years, but I think this is a good match for your 
     requirements.

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.
