"Divide and conquer." Your network techs can get a line trace to verify whether or not VM is transmitting 0x0d0a (CRLF) at the end of each record. If it isn't, then you look at the FTP transaction to confirm ASCII mode. (Unlike z/OS, z/VM does not have an option to translate data from EBCDIC to ASCII without insertion of CRLFs.) If it *is* transmitting CRLF, then you have to look at the FTP server to see what's going on.
