The last message I got said:
504 MULTI-BYTE ENCODING NOT SUPPORTED FOR RECFM=FB

Does anyone know of a limitation like this?

Well, UTF-8 is a variable byte system: some characters
take one byte, some two, some three, and some four.

For RECFM=FB it might be hard to settle on a record
size (although I would just go with 4 * max number
of characters and pad with UTF-8 spaces (x'20') ).

But it looks like the ftp is not set up that way. Maybe
your best bet is to define the target as VB.

I'm not sure what you mean buy CCSID, but the data is encoded in
IBM-424 EBCDIC - Hebrew New Code.

What is CCSID of the data on z/OS? By Unicode, do you mean UTF-8,
UTF-16, or UTF-32 on Windows? The basic command is the SBDATACONN

Subject: z/OS ftp and Unicode

Can anyone show me how to transfer a file from z/OS to windows using
the windows ftp client so that the resulting file on windows is
Unicode.

The source file on z/OS will be EBCDIC.

We are using z/OS v1.11.

Unicode services are enabled on z/OS.

Thanks

Gadi
