Has anyone noticed other characters getting mistranslated when ftp
uploading to z/OS? I had some trouble with ASCII punctuation in a C
program-- e.g., the `_' character was coming through untranslated and
the 0x5F code point isn't valid for a C program. I ended up using perl
and iconv to convert the file to codepage 1047 on my workstation and
then uploading the files in binary mode.
Seemed to work quite reliably, but what a pain.
