Thanks for this.
We have had a 'situation' this week were a developer had used SQL to
update
fields, including a type L date field, in a DDS defined file. 
Afterwards,
FTP would fail on the records updated by SQL.  CPYF would work fine.
RCVNETF would work fine but FTP would fail.
I included these commands in the FTP script and FTP now copies the file
OK
as well.
Again, thanks.

You're more that welcome.   The problem was driving me crazy and IBM
found it in their online problems resolution database, which is
available to us by the way, but the IBMer looked under "FTP and Packed".
  I wouldn't have known to look for "Packed" as I didn't know WHAT might
have been the proper topic under which to search.  So, while there site
is out there, I don't relish going through thousands of PMRs and
solutions.  So IBM definitely helped.

Take care,
