Minimally I would test without the TRANSLATE subcommand, to
ensure that is not the source of any problems.
There is no mention of CRTPF or CRTSRCPF issued prior to, or
SYSCMD CRT[SRC]PF within, the script. Was the target file on the
client pre-existing without the member [so the "(replace" was not
required], or was the FTP client creating the [source] physical
file? If the files being copied are indeed lrecl=500, then the
target data file must be created with that as its minimal record
length; or 512 as minimal for target as a source file, to
accommodate the 6 byte source sequence and 6 byte source date details.
Although recf & lrecl will IIRC, establish criteria for the FTP
server in creating a target file for PUT at the server, I am not
aware there is any affect on GET for use of those site specific
subcommands directed at the server [from the i as FTP client].
AFaIK, by default the i as FTP client will create an 80 byte data
file. Given enough information, for example by specific site
settings and whatever else, a file of the minimal RCDLEN should be
created by the i as FTP client. However I wonder about the "UNIX
simulation" and the settings MODE=stream, UNIX=ON, & CRLF=ON that
are shown. If the files are really VSAM versus fully stream data,
then perhaps those attributes preclude the client from making an
appropriate decision about the minimum record length required, so
the default of 80-bytes is used, and thus the files as target of the
data will need to be pre-created rather than allowing the client to
create the file.?

I trying to use the FTP client to GET vsam files from our zVSE
mainframe. If try getting a file up to 80 bytes everything works
okay. Any file larger results in an error.
Is there any limitation?
This however works fine when I FTP the files from zVSE to
iseries.
Any help is appreciated.
