At times, FTP is too damned smart.  I have allocated a DDNAME with overriding
RECFM=U and attempted to transfer from //DD:...  But it failed.  It appeared 
that
FTP did a DYNALLOC INFO, found the attributes in the DSCB, and ignored those
I specified.  It's possibly catering to the novice user rather than the 
journeyman.
