Dave,
I'm working on a utility to convert EBCDIC files to
UTF-8 or UTF-16; you should probably do a conversion
like that first, then do the FTP as binary.

Kind regards,

Why do you need to write a utility? Won't the UNIX "iconv" program work?
iconv -f IBM-037 -t UCS-2 <input.EBCDIC >output.UCS2

Well, from a z/OS UNIX command line or a shell script,
sure. You can also call the c function. I'm looking to
create a utility that allows encoding conversions,
formatting all or part of records into x/html, and some
other features. It can run in batch or be invoked by a
browser, maybe even called as a subroutine. Still in
design stages.
Kind regards,
-Steve Comstock
