Dave,
I didn't write those instructions, but yes, it means to FTP or UPLOAD with the ASCII option in effect for the transfer. You didn't specify what error you received when you attempted to run the UPLOAD EXEC, so I can't help you further. If you haven't figured it out for yourself at this point, call the support center and Fran or Kitty can help you out.

It doesn't appear they mean ASCII (by way of FTP), because that doesn't work with the next step of: EXEC UPLOAD EXTRACT A Which generates an error. Is there a command to specify 'text translation'? Thanks, Dave
