I'm losin' it!

I've done these C/A file transfers FROM system i5 for years w/o trouble - to both ASCII and BIFF (Excel) formats!

Now, I do one the very same way, and get this junk when I open it in Excel:

FTP25
C1404040C2404040C340404040404040404040404040404040
C1404040E5404040C740404040404040404040404040404040
82404040C64040408840404040404040404040404040404040

What the heck is going on this time - is it something about the format of the data in the System i file??
