I'm not sure about BINARY mode - the letters A and MA and S and Z are intact - what is between them are from some kind of double-byte or Unicode thing, maybe.

Actually, is the ¬ character some kind of shift-into-double-byte signal?

It sure looks like it was FTPd in BINary mode, in which case no conversion from EBCDIC to ASCII took place. Is this being done in batch?  If so, how do you tell Filezilla to use ASCII mode?

EDTF automatically shows ASCII or EBCDIC.

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¬JMA¬FS¬XZ
¬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?
