a z/OS batch job FTPing an MVS dataset to a non-MVS (perhaps windows) server. The data contains a .. (two periods), which seems to be treated on the receiving end as a CRLF (they are stripped out and the following characters are on a new line justified left). My thought is specifying ASCII in the FTP deck. However my experimentation with an IBM site shows ASCII to be the default there as in 150 Opening ASCII mode. I do not see that in the failing job though.
