If you're UNIX reports have things such as "form feed" characters (^L),
then creating a sequential dataset on the z/OS system with
RECFM=VBA,LRECL=??? and doing a "QUOTE SITE ASA" before doing the PUT
should translate those "printer control" special characters to ASA
control characters. Does it not do this for you?
I did the following to test this.
1) create a report on z/OS with ASA control characters
2) ftp download to my Linux box,
using the Linux ftp client to z/OS ftp server.
using QUOTE SITE ASA
3) ftp upload the report back to z/OS
This worked in that the uploaded report had ASA control characters. In
particular, it translated the "1" in column 1 to a ^L (form feed) on
Linux and vice versa on the upload.
I don't know Control-D but guess that you could then print the dataset
involved.
