Your best bet is to probably manage the conversion on the mainframe after the ftp. A translation table will work, but is a hassle.
Run the file thru a Sort, or, a Rexx, to reformat the file. That way you have full control if it changes in the future.

I have a customer you is trying to ftp a file from a Unix machine down to the mainframe. The FTP is executing on the mainframe and is receiving the file. The file is delimited by x'05'. The FTP does not recognize this and the file comes across and is strung together. Is there a way to specify a delimiter or is there a better why to handle this type of file.
