The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

FWiW: The article at that link describes a non-text file being sent
homogeneously with the EBCDIC type established, but fails to also
establish the MODE B [BLOCK] for the FTP session. The file used in the
example can be transported, but only because its numeric data is zoned
decimal [which all representations are /printable/ characters] and all
of the character data is non-control /printable/ characters. With the
default MODE S [STREAM], binary data that might /look like/ an EOR [End
of Record] will cause a record break so the data at the target will not
match the data on the source, and may cause errors; i.e. the EOR would
be dropped, and the remainder of the record would become a new row in
the database file. My preference is to avoid using FTP to transport
externally described [non-source] database file data, and instead use a
database-specific transport such as DRDA; or export the database data
into text, and then transport that text data to be imported as the
target database.

Apparently [I had forgotten that] the TRIM option is or may be also,
a potential issue for described database files vs purely text DB files:
