If I were you, I'd ftp upload the file in BINARY back to the mainframe, then look at it using ISPF/BROWSE to see what the beginning of the file looks like. What version of Windows are you using? I tried the same as you on Win XP Pro, using notepad and doing a cut'n'paste from my Hummingbird emulator. The file did __not__ have a BOM, just as you said.
