Take a look at the data with an editor. You should see one of two things:

- A succession of 1020 (+ LLBB) length records.
- Alternating 1020 and 4 byte (+ LLBB) records.

If the former then I think you are out of luck.

If the latter, try FTPing binary stream mode to a UNIX or Windows platform. 
Then FTP back to MVS in binary stream mode, first specifying QUOTE SITE 
RECFM=FB LRECL=1024

Good luck!

Charles
