Most likely, there is. But "cent sign" is not necessarily a unique hex code in the many code pages supported by UNIX and z/OS. So you really need to know what code page you have on z/OS (likely either CP032 or IBM-1047). And what code page you want on z/Linux, such as ISO8859-1 or UTF-8 or ... . The proper command during the ftp would be something like:
quote site sbd=(ibm1047,iso8859-1) I just tried the above and it __appeared__ to work. At least when I did a "cat" on Linux, I saw a "logical not" (0xac) sign and a "cent sign" (0xa2) where I expected them. My Linux has the LANG=en_US.UTF8 set. When I tried UTF-8 instead of iso8859-1 in the above command, I got a weird error message and a 0 length file. 557 Data contains codepoints that cannot be translated I would recommend against a BINary transfer. Yes, iconv will do it. But there are "oddities". The first that if you BINary transfer from a z/OS legacy data set (such as a sequential dataset), there is no end-of-record indicator at the end of each record. For a Fixed Length record, you can translate using iconv, then insert an LF where needed. But for a Variable Length record, you have no idea where the records end, in general. If you BINary transfer a z/OS UNIX file, you will have the z/OS UNIX end-of-line character. However, the problem occurs because the z/OS UNIX end of line character is an NEL 0x15, not an LF 0x0a. "iconv" on z/Linux will translate this to a 0x85, not 0x0a. So you must translate that is a separate step. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
