Jim no-one can say it's easy to find in the RFC; I suspect that FTP REXX is the only implementation in the world defaulting to using record structure to retrieve from an ASCII based system where it supports it. I think its seemed to me that a pipeline should prefer to receive records whenever the sending system supported them.
(Of course my bug applies to EBCDIC systems too, where that is a bit less weird).
