It sounds like a file type mismatch.  You are getting a stream file
from the IFS of one machine and trying to put it out to a database file
on another.  Does EXPORT already exist in HSSDJSCH? If it does, you
need to specify (REPLACE at the end of your get statement. If it does
not, you may have problems.  Try FTPing from IFS to IFS and using copy
from import file (CPYFRMIMPF?) to populate the database.
