After talking with our Unix admin. I'm thinking that my problem isn't with the mainframe but with Unix (HP-UX 11.0) not being able to support unicode.
Dave Schaeffer -----Original Message----- Not sure but I beleive that the Unix based ftp server may not support Unicode. After you enter the UCs2 command what do you get? Do you know for sure that the Unix ftp server supports Unicode on file transfers? The code 40500 means that the ftp server is issuing the FTP return code 500. Generally a code 500 means that something is wrong with the command. Are you getting the 500 after the UCs2 or after the PUT. I just ftp'ed from z/OS to z/OS using the UCs2 option and it worked fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
