"my user" implies a third, silent, party to this dialog. That makes it
more complicated. And you say your user is using FTP, but you
can't. I routinely use "quote site sbdataconn=(IBM-1047,ISO8859-1)"
with IBM's FTP server and various clients. It's suitable for my purposes
although it may translate ASCII caret to/from EBCDIC logical not.
Does your mainframe system entirely prohibit FTP, or can you use it
locally to experiment? ("FTP localhost" at the TSO "READY" prompt.)
Do you know/are you free to disclose:
o What FTP server your user has (IBM or other, perhaps CA)?
o What FTP client on what platform your user has?
Line-mode clients regularly accept the "quote site ..."; GUI
clients may conceal the facility from presumed naive users.
I hate EBCDIC!
