And no one knows why.
FTP appears designed to ignore conventions and frustrate programmers.\
Once I coded:
//SYSUT1 DD RECFM=U,...
...
PUT DD:SYSUT1 ...
expecting FTP to behave like IEBGENER or any well-behaved utility,
treat each block as an unformatted record, and transfer RDWs and BDWs
as data. Instead, it appeared to ignore my allocation attributes and use
those in the DSCB instead.
