Try a suffix of '.BIN' on all files transferred as well as the 'BIN' FTP option. Nothing seems to work 100% of the time, but that seems to work most often.

Our business partner chose the mechanism in palce to deal with multiple other shops, and they're not likely to want to do this sort of one-off thing for us. I also took some of the previous comments regarding the RDW site command (which I'd seen before) and did some testing. As stated by another poster, there doesn't seem to be any way to get it to honor this and strip it off on the final FTP. I also have to deal with the issue that EITHER the EBCDIC code pages on either end don't match (less likely) or the ASCII code pages don't match (more likely) since the end user has subsequently reported to me that they've seen some data corruption due to the translation. I guess they were expecting a cent sign character in someof their data. ves/ibm-main.html NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
