Re: Unencrypt an FTP'd file

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What kind of system is the file coming from? Someone mentioned EBCDIC vs. 
ASCII - if the file is actually EBCDIC (CCSID 37) but has Coded character 
set 850, it will look like nonsense when you use opt 5 in WRKLNK to se it 
in IFS. If you have taken opt 5, try F15, then put in a 3 in the top field, 
then put 37 in the field next to option 3. Press enter. You'll get a 
message. Ignore it. F12 and see what you see. If it is readable, you have a 
couple options. The first is to use option 2 against the file, where you 
can use F15 again to change the CCSID of the file. Or use the CPY command 
to make a copy and change the CCSID in the process. The second method can 
be automated, for sure. But maybe the first one can, as well. I've not 
investigated QShell commands that could change the CCSID - maybe "touch" 
can do it.
