The IBM OpenSSH server does not support ascii/bin keywords, everything is in binary mode. It was designed around x86 to x86 as I understand it and going binary only you can send text or binary ok but now that mainframe is doing this also and its not just x86 you have issue's.
You can use Dovetail to help this or Tectia I believe without those two your options are dd tr iconv sftp also does not support SITE one option you could try, I haven't done this myself thought create a ssh tunnel for ftp then once the tunnel is connected use normal ftp over ssh your still secure but have the same old ftp client to deal with William D Carroll Mainframe Engineering, Build Office: (614) 677-3885 Cell: (614) 266-5402 Email: [email protected] From: Michael Stephens <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 06/14/2011 10:08 AM Subject: Re: ASCII to EBCDIC conversion Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]> Parthasarathy , I am inferring that you need to FTP to or from a z/OS system. z/VM or VSE are much the same. My experience with FTP to and from z/OS is that EBCDIC to ASCII is automatic. You must set BINARY on to prevent the conversion. That may be a local option, however. I've not used it, but presumably SFTP works the same. The main issue you might have is that ordinary z/OS files have logical record lengths, LRECL, and not line feeds as the record terminators. Linux source records longer than the z/OS destination LRECL will be truncated. Shorter records will be either blank or null filled. I don't know if the line feed character will be translated. You could define a z/OS variable blocked record, but make sure the Linux source records are no longer than the block size, BLKSIZE. Going from z/OS to Linux or Windows is generally not such a problem. Also, watch out for numeric field conversions. Some of the many z/OS numeric formats may not convert the way you wish. It is generally better to create the source files with numbers in display format, without commas, and programmatically convert them. I hope this helps, Michael Stephens -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Rohling Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2011 8:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ASCII to EBCDIC conversion I'm not sure this will make a difference -- I misread the table .. and the LF characters are the same in ebcdic or ibm.. You may need to use 'tr' or some other translate function after the dd.
