You are saying that these datasets are all printable reports, etc. When you transfer a printable report containing form control characters to a different system, you will not be able to re-print this report correctly (with proper forms control) on a system unless you have a program that can convert

Cecilio, You can use DFSORT's new translation function ETOA which translates characters from EBCDIC to ASCII using the default standard TCP/IP service EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation table. //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=Your Input Tape DSN //SORTOUT

Forgot to mention, you really need to be sure that the data on z/OS is "textual". That basically means that it could be successfully printed out on a normal printer. It cannot contain "binary" information. Why? Because if you do an EBCDIC to ASCII translate on the "binary" data, the result is ju

What is the transport mechanism to the AIX box? FTP will read z/OS "textual" data in EBCDIC and can translate it to ASCII "on the fly" as it is sent to the AIX box. I do this all the time sending from z/OS 1.12 to an ASCII Linux system. sftp (transport via encrypted SSH) can also do EBCDIC to AS
