Quite so. Which is the reason I think FTP is in error for claiming
the data contain an invalid code point. Using a z/OS UNIX
(whatever) temp file, it can all be done with a single FTP command
and a bizarre script:
# (Local stuff redacted) #
MEMBER="$1"
DSN=TEST.TESTPRT
MVS_TEMP="/tmp/$MVS_USER"
ftp $MVS_USER@$MVS_HOST <<end-of-ftp
ascii
quote site encoding=sbcs
quote site sbdataconn=(IBM-1047,ISO8859-1)
get $DSN($MEMBER) $MEMBER
put $MEMBER $MVS_TEMP/$MEMBER
quote site encoding=mbcs
quote site mbdataconn=(IBM-424,UTF-8)
get $MVS_TEMP/$MEMBER $MEMBER
delete $MVS_TEMP/$MEMBER
quit
end-of-ftp
cat "$MEMBER"
<UGH!/>
