If you are referring to FTPing z/OS to z/OS, you can do so with RECFM=VB. I have FTPed SMF data without tersing first many times between systems / sysplexes. This is RECFM=VBS data. In addition to "TYPE E" and "MODE B" I use "quote site lrecl=x" (when sending), but that is because the LRECL can be larger than 32K. And before the next question is asked, NO - LRECL=X does not work with ADRDSSU tape dumps (at default LRECL) nor FDR tape dumps (without FORMAT=SPLIT).
