It's not the worst thing I've seen - when you want to transfer a text file from OS390/zOS,
you are in deep water. =)
zOS's native charset is EBCDIC. When you use ASCII transfer mode, all you get on an ASCII-based system is garbage.
When you convert the file to ASCII on the mainframe and transfer it via ASCII, you get garbage. What you have to do is transfer the file in binary mode and convert it manually either before or afterwards.
