Lizette, I think John's suggestion has merit. On the first transfer (Unix to Windows) are you specifying ascii or binary? Specifying ascii should correctly translate the Unix new line to the Windows CRLF. Then your second transfer (Windows to z/OS) should work correctly. This also explains why Notepad doesn't like the data.

It must be done this way, Unix, to Win2008, to Mainframe. No options here. I have tried several tests. Either I only get one record up on the mainframe or the data is definately in bin format when it arrives. I have tried BIN FB, BIN VB, ASCII FB and ASCII VB. So far the 44 records I have to test with are just not behavingin. The odd thing is that NOTEPAD cannot read this file well. It wraps it (yes tried the WRAP FORMAT in Notepad no luck). So I can see the records circle around in the notepad window. However, Notepad++ sees it as individual records. Still plugging along. I am trying the cmd prompt from my desktop to the mainframe. However, it is possible that this file will be brought up via a batch job on the mainframe. I am trying that now.
