For a z/OS to z/OS file transfer of a VB binary file we can use "binary" and 
"(structure) record", ie:


//FTPVBGET JOB ,'VB FTP
GET',NOTIFY=&SYSUID         
                //EXECFTP  EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='remote_zos
(EXIT'                   
//SYSPRINT DD
SYSOUT=*                                               
//E9130    DD
DISP=SHR,DSN=DEV.RXMTIN.ACH.E9130                      
//SYSIN    DD
*                                                      binary
record                                                               
get 'prod.rxmtin.ach.e9130'
//dd:e9130                               
quit                                                                 
/*                                                                   

This option is not mentioned in the following IBM technote:  
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21188301

Is there any reason why I would not prefer "binary/record" over 
"ebcdic/blocked"?  The former seems to make much more sense, since that 
is in fact what I am doing.  Specifying EBCDIC implies a text file, 
which this is not (even though it does appear to work).

Thanks,Frank
