I am attempting to transfer a binary file for my pc to a uss file and
then convert it to ascii.  There is a little issue, in that the CRLF
sequences x'0d0a' are getting converted to '0d15'.  When I ftp with
ascii they get translated to '0D0A'.

I do the translation in USS via the iconv utility, this causes the 0D15
sequence.

iconv -f ISO8859-1 -t IBM-1047 asm.sh  > ../asm.sh 

I have also tried IBM-037.

The short version as to why, is that I am creating an archive file on
the PC (actually a WAR file via ANT) and then doing the binary transfer,
so that the un-waring (JAR -XF file.ext) creates the identical build
directory structure under uss as I had on the PC.  I then need to go
thru and convert specific files that are ascii, to ebcdic. 

Depending upon the USS utility that is being used, it may or may not
recognize the '0D15' as being the same as '0D0A'.  I could write a
custom utility to convert the '0D15' to 0D0A, but was kinda hoping there
was a standard utility to do this.

Thank you


Brad Taylor
