Seems like you should look at the file outside of COBOL in each scenario and 
make your observations based on that.  Sounds like its more a "file" issue than 
a Java issue.  I could be wrong...

Subject: Moving a java application to USS question/issues

HI

I am in the process of moving a jar to run on USS. The jar runs on Cygwin 
successfully. I moved the jar as binary to USS, and FTP'd the input test file 
as text. The only way the file would run successfully is if I FTP the test 
input file as Binary and specify a file encoding of CP1252. I tried all 
different file encoding types and other encoding options but haven't had any 
luck. The project has an internal table (not in text. Internal language).

The program doesn't return the correct results because it can't find the data 
from the input file in the table.  A display was put in the program of the data 
read from the file. When the file is FTP'd as Ascii, Z701bbb displays as
\121
\341
\214
\111

When I FTP input file as Binary, it displays correctly and runs successfully.

My question is, Is there any option needed when the project is built so that 
when the file is read or data passed in from Cobol, it's looking for specific 
option/conversion of the input characters?

The end goal is to call the jar from my Cobol program passing in the data.

Thank You in advance.
