I cannot think of an easy way to do this, so I thought that I'd ask. I want to copy a sequential file to another sequential file (both on DASD, not tape!), translating the contents from EBCDIC (CP-037) to ASCII (ISO8859-1). I can think of a way to do it using UNIX services, but I'm hoping for a simplier method. The ASCII file is to be transferred to a Windows system, so each line must end in CRLF. <snip> As far as I know, you can FTP the file with translation to the same system. I haven't tried specifically what you are asking, but it seems simple enough. And while you are doing it, you could just send it on to the Windows system -- unless the Windows system has to pull it... And, of course, you can do this with a batch job (using REXX, CLIST, etc.), so anyone could invoke it.
