βMe too. That's another reason that I have Dovetailed Technologies' Data Set Pipes installed. It has a UNIX commands, tofile & fromfile, which can transfer data in binary or with code (and line ending) conversions via ssh. There are versions to run on z/OS UNIX, z/Linux, Linux/Intel, Wintel, AIX and source code which can be compiled on other UNIX or UNIX-like systems.β The tofile/fromfile can basically convert to/from any code page which is supported by the iconv() function. scp seems to be limited to ISO8859-1(?)<->IBM-1047 with LF and NEL line endings, respectively. -- β While a transcendent vocabulary is laudable, one must be eternally careful so that the calculated objective of communication does not become ensconced in obscurity. In other words, eschew obfuscation. 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
