Or you could use fromdsn with Co:Z to transfer and convert in one step (over
SSH).

Thats curious. The code uses the C library to do dataset I/O and of course
you would have pipe I/O between the processes.
One variable is whether you have Unicode Services enabled for these
codepages or not - we fall back to ICONV() if not, which can be more
expensive. Might also be some LE (CEE

Actually, I think that I've found the problem. There appears to be a
firewall between the mainframe and the Windows box. The ftp which is
failing is large (small ftps succeed!) and my estimate is that it is
taking just a bit over 2 minutes to complete the data

I once had a problem FTPing a large dump to IBM. It kept timing out, and
since I could not list the IBM side, thought it failed and sent it to a new
name,
which also timed out. I let IBM know and both files were the same size and
complete, so that connection seemed to just be there to let me kn
