Re: FTP translate table defaults
Some clarification, but first - THANK YOU GENTLEMEN. My problem with translation is minor and I know how to circumvent it. I can use SITE SBD command. The command with codepage numbers or the table. Issued directly or embedded in RC file (kind of .profile for FTP session). My question was: How to customize *default* translation table for given user. Not globally for server, but for user. The idea was to use several users with different translation settings. Instead I can still issue SITE SBD, but I want to avoid it. So, out of curiosity I tried to provide user default translation table... with no effect. Note, changes in server configuration is not an option, because it is global, not user-dependent (I wrote it, but I want to repeat). And this is not end of my questions... :-) -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 05.04.2024 o 20:16, Phil Smith III pisze: Good questions. SITE CHTAG doesn't work.

Re: FTP translate table defaults
Radoslaw asked about default translate tables for FTP. My earlier thread titled "FTP problem", here and MVS-OE, seems related. I don't have a solid answer other than that file tagging seems to matter, so chtag is your friend. Or I've misunderstood the question, of course. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: FTP translate table defaults
See EZY2640I in your FTP log. Ours: EZY2640I Using 'TCPIP.FTP.DATA' for local site configuration parameters. You will want to investigate the SBDATACONN setting. We encountered translation issues using the default translation table (TCPIP.STANDARD.TCPXLBIN) that gave a mu in the translated text for a vertical line (used in formatting comments in code). We ended up using CONVXLAT to provide a better table for EBCDIC to ASCII translation, Our JCL: /SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* /SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* /SYSINDD DUMMY /SYSTSIN DD * onvxlat 'TCPIP.SEZATCPX(EUS)' + 'TCPIP.eus.tcpxlbin' * And in the FTP processing statements include: LOCSITE SBDataconn=TCPIP.eus.tcpxlbin to override the FTP default table.
