[I realize there is a discussion listspecific to TCP/IP. I will try
there if IBM-MAIN cannot help...]
I'm transferring text files using batch FTP from one z/OS system to
another. The transfer specifies (among other things):
locsite sbdataconn=(IBM-1047,IBM-850)
locsite ctrlconn=IBM-850
ascii
put file.name
There is a copyright symbol in the file that looks like this (under ISPF):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C9A8998A8998944C99A9888A4B4FFFF6FFFF48A4D89898A444444444444444444444444444444444

The x'B4' copyright symbol is being converted by FTP to a x'F8' numeric
eight symbol.

Looking at the messages produced by the job, I see the following (twice):
IEF237I 8211 ALLOCATED TO SYS00003
IEF285I TCPIP.STANDARD.TCPXLBIN KEPT
IEF285I VOL SER NOS= ZDRES2.
This seems to suggest that the 'ctrlconn' and 'sbdataconn'
specifications are being ignored and the default translation table is
being used.
I can try switching to a pureEBCDIC text transfer, but that should not
be necessary. The IBM-850 code page supports the copyrightsymbol.
What am I doing wrong here?
