Would someone be so kind as to share the command to do the translate? >>Years ago I wanted the same and I never found one nor wrote one. FTP's EBCDIC <-> ASCII translation is for the entire logical record. You would need a "field" level translation to get no translation for the length fields and EBCDIC <-> ASCII translation for the text fields. Charles/Don, DFSORT has the capability of converting from EBCDIC to ASCII and vice-versa TRAN=ETOA converts EBCDIC characters to ASCII characters TRAN=ATOE converts ASCII characters to EBCDIC characters ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
