Agreed; you can't. I was trying to be general. I had long entertained the
wishful delusion that TYPE E; MODE B is a general solution to transferring
z/OS data sets of any RECFM whatever until I discovered in the last week
that it may fail for RECFM=VB.

This is a Turing Tarpit:
54. Beware of the Turing tar-pit in which everything is possible but
nothing of interest is easy.
—Alan Perlis, Epigrams on Programming[2]
There _ought_ to be a combination of TYPE/MODE/STRU etc. that simply works,
at least for any z/OS -> z/OS transfer of a data set of any RECFM. There
appears
not to be. For extra credit, it should support store-and-forward on a non-z/OS
stream-oriented waystation.
A possible solution would be a SITE AMATERSE/LOCSITE AMATERSE command
for FTP.
