Unless done correctly the FTP of some datasets, such as those with
Variable or Undefined record formats, will "fail" in that the resulting
file on the PC is unusable due to lack of end-of-record indicators. This
is a logical failure and not a physical failure.

Wouldn't specifying TYPE E and MODE B get around the problem.
MODE B specifies block mode which would then preserve the record format
(even if it is undefined).
