If you are downloading directly from the Unix server you should(!) only need to specify ASCII mode:
FTP unixserver USER .... ... ASCII GET anyoldfile BUt I think the issue that the op had is that the file was transfered to a Windows system first, in binary mode, and thus had Unix EOL instead of WIndows EOL. So connecting to the WIndows server and using aSCII mode does not solve the problem. The problem is solved best by properly transmitting it from Unix to WIndows using something (Such as FTP with ASCII mode) that translates the Unix EOL to WIndows EOL during that process (before z/OS tries to get it). -- Frank Swarbrick Applications Architect - Mainframe Applications Development FirstBank Data Corporation - Lakewood, CO USA P: 303-235-1403 On 3/18/2010 at 10:08 AM, in message <1910aea19cd2554fb59403184ebe4381027b1fb...@mmoexchmbs01.jhacorp.com>, Hal Merritt <[email protected]> wrote: > Where/how, exactly, are these options set?
