EBCDIC to ASCII translation
Posted: 11 Feb 2009, 19:41
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
