CCSID issue?

We send ZPL for Zebra printers to the IFS where another system (windows
based I assume) picks up the ZPL And sends it to printers. We have
intermittent issues where the labels are corrupted.

I downloaded to sample files to my PC using FileZilla. Here is s short
sample of a good .txt file containing ZPL When I view them using EDTF they
look fine.

¬XA¬MNY¬FS¬XZ
¬XA¬MMT¬FS¬XZ

Here is a corrupted file:~CC柔Z
柔A既MA政S柔Z
柔A映NY政S柔Z
柔A映MT政S柔Z

Both .txt files are CCSID 1252. They are sent to IFS using CPYTOSTMF
with STMFCCSID(*PCASCII)

QCCSID value is 37.

Where else can I look for why this is happening?
