Can't you fool FTP? I'm sure I have done this trick (although not in the OP's specific situation).
Tell both sides it's a binary transfer. Then tell the server only (with QUOTE UCS2) to translate to the desired character set.

If the ftp software (either the client or the server) on the HP-UX box does not support it, it won't work. Both the client and server must support the data stream that is being transfered. When you an ASCII file transfer this tells both the server and client that the data will be in "virtual telnet ASCII". When you do binary, this tells both sides that the data will be in a 'stream of bits'. If you say UCs2 then both sides know that the data will be un Unicode format. If the boths sides don't support this, it won't work. Charles Mills wrote: > Ah! Can you initiate the FTP from HP-UX and get the z/OS server to do the > translation?
