EBCDIC to ASCII translation

Post by eckman914 »

I'm seeing a problem when I FTP files from a Z/VM system to my local windows system.
The file that I ftp'ing has the special char '¦', which looks like a vertical bar but with a space in the middle.

In EBCDIC the value if this char is 0x6A in ASCII it is 0xA6.
However when I ftp the file from Z/VM to Windows the char gets translated to 'º' 0xBA !

Is there any way I can control the translation from EBCDIC to ASCII and ASCII to EBCDIC when I FTP files back and forth from Z/VM and Windows?

Thanks,
George

Our FTP client does not make any translations (between EBCDIC and ASCII), so sorry but there is no such option.
