Subject: Re: ASCII - EBCDIC conversion issueAnthony,
What product are you using to FTP. You might want to try sending the docs in Binary. This usually fixes the problems with conversions. If you can connect directly try dropping to the FTP prompt and sending it type binary. Your gateway software should support FTP via ASCII or binary. We have ran across this problem numerous times.
Thanks,

Does your X12 data contain any tilde (~) or pipe (|)
characters? I've had problems in the past converting
these characters between ASCII and EBCDIC.Good luck.

Title: RE: ASCII - EBCDIC conversion issue
I am
using perl for the FTP currently, but keep in mind that I am transferring NT to
NT - the Character conversion goes on internally at the partner when they pull
from NT into the mainframe.
Does
anyone know where in IBM System 370 they can look for the character conversion
application and its rules?
