What do the bad data sets look like? Are they 1024 byte records?

If so, then FTP probably wrote the first 1020 bytes to the first record. The 
remaining 4 bytes of the first source record would have become the first four 
bytes of the second record followed by the first 1016 bytes of the second 
source record....

I would probably try to FTP the bad data sets to FB1024 data sets and see if 
that fixes it. I can't think of an MVS program that could do it, but maybe the 
DFSORT wizards have an idea.
