If you're going to serve the data from USS, be sure to use the POSIX
translation table, which translates ASCII LF to EBCDIC NL instead of
EBCDIC LF. That should result in proper operation of Java and other POSIX
apps. (POSIX assumes ISO 8859-1 on both sides.)
IIRC: "site xlate posix". If FP or other publishing tool doesn't have
the ability to put in arbitrary ftp client startup commands, then you will
need to reconfigure the default translation table on z/OS. Or set up
another FTP server listening on some other port.

Alan,
I need to point this out to our zOS guy. Where do you stipulate
"EBCDIC NL"? I suspect it is under the zOS USS and not on the FTP
client, correct?
