No disrespect intended, Paul.
Might I suggest that you use a batch TMP step, instead of IEBCOPY, and
XMIT the file to a sequential file? Then download the resulting
sequential file, in BINARY mode, to your PC.
To test the result, upload it back to the mainframe in BINARY and do a
RECEIVE of it, to a different name, and compare the result with the
original.
XMIT has an additional step that makes the resulting file FB, with
LRECL=80. RECEIVE reverses this process.
Might make a HUGE difference in your results. You can also examine the
file on your PC using XMIT Manager (www.cbttape.org).
