I suspect that the default SBDATACONN at your site is (1047,IBM-850), which would translate x'AC' (which is the "1/4" character in codepage 850) to x'B7' (which is the "1/4" character in code page 1047). If you use "quote site sbdataconn=(IBM-1047,ISO8859-1)" (if your transfer is started from the windows end) then x'AC' will be translated to x'E0' which is the "not character" in codepage 1047. I don't know which codepage you have that tells you x'B7' is a backslash.
